v1

It was a Valentine's Day by a different name

'Cause the Celts and the Germans have a different way

To celebrate the same holiday

So Valentine's Day is Imbulc to me

V2

On Imbulc Day my heart fell away

When I found true love in a different way

And Brigid smiled on my Irish eyes

And said he's the one, gotta marry him

V3

Oh Valentine's Day is for German blood

On the 14th day if you're on the main land

But on the British isles it's celebrated on the 2nd

So it's Imbulc day for the same holiday.

V4

So find true love whichever way you like

On the 2nd or the 14th, doesn't matter much

It's the Feast of the Maiden either way you say it

It's a day for true love anyway you want it.

V5

Now the Goddess is a bride reborn at last

And we'll honor her and we'll give flowers to our maidens

And celebrate romance in the purest sense

Don't matter which day we choose, as long as we do it.

V6

So pick your day, lovers everywhere

And have yourselves a good time however you choose to do it

But this Irish girl found her true love on the 2nd

So Valentine's day is best for her on the 2nd....
