Lirik

Choir:

When the Irish Eye Smiles, it's certainly like a spring morning.

In the Irish laughter, you can hear the angels singing.

When Irish hearts are happy, the whole world looks bright and gay,

And When Irish Eyes Smile, of course, they steal your heart.

Verse 1:

There are tears in your eyes and I wonder why,

For that it should not exist at all.

With such power in your smile, make sure the stone you understand,

So there was never a drop of tears,

When your laughter is like a fairy tune

And your eyes shine as bright as you can.

You have to laugh all the time and all other times smile,

And now smile a smile for me.

(Choir)

Verse 2:

For your smile is part of the love in your heart,

And that even makes sunshine brighter.

Like a linnet sweet song, singing all day long.

Come to your laughter so soft and bright.

For the spring of youth is the sweetest,

Nobody really cares or regrets.

And when spring is ours, in all hours of youth,

Let's smile every chance we get.

(Choir)
