Cen Fath are we Sitting Around?

Fighting Words na Gaeilge, St.Fiachra’s SNS, Rang a 5, 14/04/26

[Vearsa 1]
Rich people are going on tour, 
While paisti ina gcoladh ar an t-urlar
The Royal teach ag snamh in money
While people in war have an empty tummy
Cen fath are we sitting around? 
When there’s daoine on the ground?
We have to stad you can’t have more
It’s war therefore we dun an doras

[Curfa]
What can we do?
How can we help?
How can we stad 
Those hungry yelps?
Nil se ceart
Nil se coir
We will go 
And help the poor
Let us go 
And stamp it out
Cause we will scream 
And we will shout 
Until we finally
Get our way,
Let’s stamp out 
Bochtanas today!

[Vearsa 2]
There is homeless people around the world,
No bia for all the boys and girls,
They can’t afford a visit to an t-ospideal
Ag fanacht leis an dea-sceal
Stop war and racism, 
Countries attacked for no reason?
Babini agus paisti are getting killed,
Gach duine needs life, laughter and happiness!
Help homelessness, 
Or gach duine will be gone.

[Curfa]
What can we do?
How can we help?
How can we stad 
Those hungry yelps?
Nil se ceart
Nil se coir
We will go 
And help the poor
Let us go 
And stamp it out
Cause we will scream 
And we will shout 
Until we finally
Get our way,
Let’s stamp out 
Bochtanas today!

[Droichead]
We’re getting lots of food and they don’t 
They’re getting sent to a boat
We’re getting lots of bia 
And they have diarrhea
But we have an idea 
We will send some bia
Racism is not ok 
We will stand in their way
Trying to get to town but the traffic
Is too bad 
Everybody’s mad and very very sad
Horns are beeping gach uile la
With the protests being one’s gach la

[Curfa]
What can we do?

How can we stad those hungry yelps?
Nil se ceart
Nil se coir
We will go and help the poor
Let us go and stamp it out
Cause we will scream and we will shout 
Until we finally get our way,
Let’s stamp out bochtanas today!
