A moment in time, rosin the bow
Sound the strings of years ago
A sunlit room at Glenties fair
A traveler plays a haunting air
A story told, the laughter peel
The fiddler strikes another reel
The music lifts, the tapping toe
The listeners call for "S'an sa Cheo" [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/altan/a_moment_in_time.html ]
Feel his art lift the heart
Sense the spirits rise and fall
A fiddler plays in Donegal
The story resounds, the tune rings on
The given note, the given song
And now a child lifts the master's bow
A moment in time from years ago
Feel his art lift the heart
Sense the spirits rise and fall
A fiddler plays in Donegal
