"The Best is Yet to Come" is the vocal song for Metal Gear Solid. It was written and produced by Rika Muranaka and features Irish lyrics sung by Aoife Ní Fhearraigh, with additional arrangement provided by David Downes. The song was recorded at the Beech Park Studio, in Ireland, and was engineered by Philip Begley. A slightly cut version of the song appears in Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots as an unlockable for the in-game iPod. The song is played when Solid Snake revisits the Heliport area of Shadow Moses Island in Metal Gear Solid 4. A sample from the song was used in British metalcore band Bring Me The Horizon's popular song "Shadow Moses", named after Shadow Moses Island. A cover version of the song performed by Donna Burke in English is featured in the soundtrack Metal Gear Solid Vocal Tracks & Covers.

The Best Is Yet To Come English Lyrics

Donna Burke's cover of "The Best is Yet to Come" with English lyrics.

Gaeilge

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

Cuimhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú sásta
An cuimhne leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú ag gáire

Tá an saol iontach
Má chreideann tú ann
Tug aghaidi ar an saol is
sonas sioraí inár measc

Céard a tharla do na laethanta sin
Céard a tharla do na h-oícheanta sin
An cuimhin leat an t-am
Nuair a bhí tú faoi bhrón

An cuimhin leat an t-am
Go sioraí sileadh na ndeor
an ormsa nó orainne a bhí an locht

Ag mothú cailte s'ar fán
Cén fáth an t-achrann is sileadh na ndeor
Tá áilleacht sa saol Má chuardaíonn tú e
Tá gliondar sa saol
Creideann sé

English translation

Do you remember love
The heartbreak of love?
Nothing now but music of the night.
I am forever in love.
A lover with a fault.
A lover with a fault.
Allow it and you will have it.
Allow it and love will be.

Can you still remember
When little things made you happy?
And can you still remember
When simple things made you smile?

Life can be so simple,
If you can only see.
Whatever happened to those days?
Whatever happened to those nights?

Can you still remember
When little things made you sad?
And can you still remember
When simple things made you sad?

Is it just me or is it just us
Feeling lost in this world?
Why do we have to cause this pain?
Why do we have to weep tears?

Please tell me we're not alone
In this world fighting the wind.
Life can be simple if you can only see
The best is yet to come.
