Celtic Woman - Nil Se'n La (2016 Version) Lyrics
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
With my pockets full silver
I did spy a friendly light
And decided I would enter
Well the woman of the house
Made to serve, she wasn't willing
But she quickly changed her tune
When she saw my silver shilling
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
You are welcome, be our guest
Fill your cup to overflowing
Come right in and take a rest
Sure, where else would you be going
Piper play, the night is young
Let us lead the soul in song
And enjoy the time remaining
It's not day, stay a while
See the stars, the sky adorning
Bright the moon that's in the sky
While away the hours 'til morning
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
It's not day, stay a while
See the stars, the sky adorning
Bright the moon that's in the sky
While away the hours 'til morning
Oh how soon the hours passed
And I didn't heed the warning
As they filled the parting glass
With the sun already dawning
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
It's not day, stay a while
See the stars, the sky adorning
Bright the moon that's in the sky
While away the hours 'til morning
What a fool I was to stay
And now I'm in trouble plenty
For the landlord wants his pay
And my pockets, they are empty
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill
Solas… ard… atá… sa ghealaigh!

Celtic Woman Nil Se'n La (2016 Version) Comments
So glad there's a version that doesn't have the "turn the party up full throttle" line, even if it's a little less fun.
Upon listening to this for the second time, I've discovered I really like this version of the song! I can't find a recording of this version (it's not on the CD) but when it's available, I'm definitely going to buy it!
It's on the target deluxe edition in the US.
I didn't like at first but I grew to like it.
“I like the original more” go listen to that one then! Like every Celtic Woman song ever is on YouTube. Also why would you want them to re-record the exact same version? Switching up original songs is awesome! These women’s voices compliment each others so well. I love them 💖
The lyrics are different from the other version but I like it. The original was more lively.
The Tempo is very like driving Rally Racing car in forest.
I like this rendtion, maybe even more then the original one. The blend of the voices are pretty!
I more like original than this version with the soloist Chloe, Lisa, Alex, And Lynn
Sorry but, no, just, no.
Love the basses/the cellos that are subtly supporting the whole tune. It's not comparable to the old version, because both songs have absolutely different arrangements. The old one fits into the general style the CW had back then. This new version is more compatible with their newest hits.
This has a dramatic movie opening feel, but I like this version better if for no other reason than they got rid of the stupid line, "turn the party up full throttle" from the original. It was so out of place and always bothered me.
Has anyone managed to find lyrics to this version? I can't seem to find them anywhere.
I love both versions, both are amazing and enchanting in their own way
Could someone PLEASE put the lyrics to this? I can't find them anywhere.
the original is better but they did right by not aping the original they have their own style and this is the English version
I've met these ladies. for the future I want to hear them do wild mountain thyme on an album
I saw it live last night.. it was amazing!! <3
Only chorus is better than old version.
I like both versions ,but on different levels. This is undoubtedly beautiful,especially the haunting violin parts, but the original one was more in the mood, and more enjoyable. I like that one better, but this is great too.
I love this version. It is haunting, especially Eabha's voice!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Her voice is amazing!
My favourite among them, truth be told.
My mouth just about hit the floor! Gorgeous new version of this Celtic Woman classic! Love it!!
just because they are new does not mean they dont know what they are doing, this is very well done
i like the original version more than this one :/
Monica Nazare then go listen to that one
This is an English Nil sen La!
BEEP BEEP lol right. What a strange/rude thing to say
i like the original better. i wish they had an album with new songs to them like fields of athenry, skye boat song, loch lomond, wild mountain thyme, amd a lot more songs completely in Gaelic Irish and Scottish.
Shaylyn Ariana Elizabeth Crain ask Eabya,,she is the one who could persuade David(yes he is back tg)to change,,she is used to singing such songs in gaelicgh and English,,as is mairead,,and pixie in the fiddle(know her from lots and ct with Michael,,friends now),,u could try through the fans forum as well
izzy duffy David is coming back?!?! Where did you here this?
songs from the heart or emerald
I would like to hear them do Fields of Athenry, I know Mairead has done her own version of it which is beautiful.

This is better than the original version. I would love to see a video of them performing this song
they perform it on their current tour
and then it's Intermission
This is ugly....
wow, finally somebody who has working ears. it is idd ugly trash
Micah Pittman Well,I don't think this is 'that' ugly,The older version is actually better
No one's forcing you to listen to it
I love it and i dont appreciate you saying such mean things about it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you don't have to listen to it, you know...
Such a awesome, smoothly and very eclectic but not too catchy one. And that's why they're so talented because this is my newest favourite.
I'm impressed. I like both versions of this song, keep it up girls!
Where did you find this?
This is on the Target Exclusive version of the Voices of Angels CD! Its pretty awesome! I believe they added You Raise Me Up to it as well or Danny Boy, one of the two!
You Raise Me Up is on the regular version.
this is my new favorite version of this song.
Maggie McGonnell Same!!
love it girls XXX Eabha when u visiting Michael again??,,making a video of this?
Wow 😍
I would love to see the live version of this song, if it exists.
Im sure they will perform this on tour! I surely hope!
They are performing this on their current US tour!
Charles Larrivee I saw it in there concert, it was really awesome!
I saw it live too. I met all four before the show.
