She'd stand in my centre my heart.
And speak to me when times were dark.
She'd look at me with loving eyes.
My best friend who dettered the lies.
Grá mo chroí thú ‘s'a stóirín fán liom,
Cha bhíonn mo am leat in am ar bith olc,
Imigh leatsa i ngar is i gcéin,
Mo mhuinín ‘bheadh ionat le teacht maorga an ghréin.
Her name was Alex, more than that,
It's friend and soul and number one for a laugh.
To me she's a life, a lifeline a joy.
The frontiers of hatred with a hug she destroys.
Glán mo hanam, mo chroí is mo mheabhair,
Thug tú dom do hór do ábháir,
Chuir tú thar an dorchadas mé, is mhothaigh mé an teas,
Le barróg, thug tú dom, do ghrá is go ghrás.
Is this what I believe? Of course, yes, it is!
Her name was Alex, and still is.
Although it's a lot more than that now.
Is my soul, my head, my life she will stand the test of time.
Go dtiocfadh beannadh an lae orainn fós,
Ach go dtí ‘n'lá sin, go mbeidh ár gcairdeas san aon chlós.
Imtheocheoidh soir is siar, a dtáinig ariamh.
Cara mo shaol, is cara an 'ghrá-táispeáiniú'.
