[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
