Pick the lyrics competition

Congratulations to Veronica Thake for winning this competition.  We hope you enjoy the Christy Moore DVD.

We translated some lyrics of popular songs into English and asked for people the lyrics back into English, identify the song and then tell us both the name of the artist and the song title.

The first correct entry won a signed Christy Moore DVD "Come all you dreamers". The second correct entry was rewarded a Kila CD.

Dá bhfeicfí daoibhse an cúig faoin gcéad den mhéid atá róbheag,
Bígí sásta nach dtabharfainn uile rud uaibh.
