[Verse 1]

Somebody cried, "The death of culture"

Somebody spit in the little boy's face

Somebody said, "You robbed my homeland"

Somebody got the wrong impression

[Chorus]

So we came across the water

A-from the shores of the isle of green

Speaking separate tongues in the death of culture

It's the death of culture, oh

[Verse 2]

Somebody said, "You stole my language"

Some people will say anything

Somebody said, "You robbed my heritage"

Some people will believe anything

Somebody said, "You always spoke English"

Somebody got the wrong impression

[Chorus]

A-so we came across the water

A-from the shores of the isle of green

Speaking separate tongues in the death of culture

Ooh, it's the death of culture

Ooh, it's the death of culture

[Bridge]

Bhi machree

Ohin trasna na farraige

Bhi machree

Ohin trasna na farraige

[Chorus]

A-so we came across the water

From the shores of the isle of green

A-so we came across the water

Speaking separate tongues in the death of culture

[?]

Ooh, it was the death of culture
