Lyrics : English Translation :
Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir I went into a public house last night
Is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna And I asked the barwoman for credit
Is é dúirt sí liom "Ní bhfaighidh tú deor She said to me, "You won't get a drop
Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile" Hit the road and go home"
Curfá : Chorus :
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá It is not yet the day, nor the day
Níl sé'n lá is ní bheidh go maidin It's not yet day and it won't be 'til morning
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá It is not yet the day, nor the day
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh A high light is in the moon
Chuir mé féin mo lámh i mo phóca I put my hand in my pocket
Is d'iarr mé briseadh scillinge uirthi And I asked for the change of a shilling
Is é dúirt sí liom "Suigh síos ag bord She said to me, "Sit down at the table
Is bí ag ól anseo go maidin" And drink here until the morning"
(Curfá) (Chorus)
"Éirigh i do shuí, a fhear an tí "Rise up, man of the house
Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata Put on your trousers and your hat
Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir 'Til you keep music with the good person
A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin" Who'll be drinking here until morning"
(Curfá) (Chorus)
"Éirigh i do shuí, a fhear an tí "Rise up, man of the house
Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata Put on your trousers and your hat
Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir 'Til you keep music with the good person
A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin" Who'll be drinking here until morning"
(Curfá...) (Chorus...)
