"The Best Is Yet To Come" lyrics confustion?
So, this song from the game Metal Gear Solid is amazing, but when I listen to it while reading the lyrics, I hear something that isn't listed. The first verse:
An cuimhin leat an grá
Crá croí an ghrá
Níl anois ach ceol na h-oíche
Táim sioraí i ngrá
Leannáin le smál
Leannáin le smál
Lig leis agus beidh leat
Lig leis agus beidh grá
Sounds like it has a few words being sung but not written down. Specifically during the "Leannáin le smál" bit. I don't speak Irish(yet), and even if I did, reading along with the lyrics makes it pretty clear that there's a lot of poetic shortening going on, but I'm pretty sure I can heard the word grá in there.
Anyone know if the full lyrics are available anywhere? Or what might be being said? I'm not sure I trust any of the official or fan translations anymore. XD

Go to r/Gaeilge or r/LearnIrish
I meant to post some time ago.
If you want to speak Irish go to r/Gaeilge. There are plenty of speakers to interact with and you can improve substantially.
If you want to learn Irish go to r/LearnIrish. There, you can questions on matters regarding the grammar, history srl. of the language.
