   Song lyrics:
   I hear, they speak my language at every turn
   The girls are smiling at me, love is in the air
   Great people, but they drink a lot
   I do the dishes, I’m looking for a job in IT
   Life in a suitcase of some ten pounds
   The money was given to me by my old, good fairy
   I stayed hidden in the hostel for a month
   On Green Island, a nice village
   Ireland, Ireland, land in sight
   Waiting for peace and prosperity, free apartments
   Ireland, Ireland, I take out my picture
   Never an empty pocket again, and hard palms
   My first job was in a suspicious bar
   I saved money on a normal guitar
   Take it easy, I’m sure I’m going to the car
   I have new tattoos, a cross and a clover
   But I will not let grief make my soul suffer
   I have to be there and as long as I can send,
   relatives of his money and packages
   I will live in this strangely good world
   Ireland, Ireland, land in sight
   Waiting for peace and prosperity, free apartments
   Ireland, Ireland, I take out my picture
   Never an empty pocket again, and hard palms
   Ireland, Ireland, has smoke too
   And bread and games and socks and underpants
   Ireland is fine, there are no mines there
   Temperate climate and much better pay
