|
|
|
Nuair a gheobhas mé bás
|
When I die
|
|
Na cuirigí faoi fhód mé
|
Don't put me under the ground
|
|
Tabhair go tí 'n leanna mé
|
Take me to the pub
|
|
'Gus cóirigí ar bórd mé
|
And set me on the table
|
|
An áit a mbéidh mé 'g éisteacht le
|
The place were I will hear
|
|
Na mugannaí dá mbualadh
|
The tankers banging
|
|
Is gur binne liom naoi n-uaire é
|
I'd prefer it for nine hours
|
|
Na ceol binn na cuaiche
|
Than the soothing music of the cuckoo
|
|
'Gus líontar dúinn an crúiscín
|
And the jug would be filled
|
|
Is bíodh sé lán
|
And it would be full
|
|
|
|
|
Tá cailín ar an bhaile seo
|
There is a girl in this town
|
|
Agus tá sí lách aereach
|
And she is quite joyful
|
|
Tá sí lách geanamhail
|
She is quite cheery
|
|
'Gus loinnir ar a héadán
|
And there's a shine on her forehead
|
|
Mac-a-samhail chan fhaca mé
|
I didn't see Mac-a-samhail
|
|
I mbaile nó i n-áthrach
|
In town or anywhere
|
|
Ach an pamhsaí Neillí bhi
|
But posey Nelly was
|
|
Ar thoin na loing a lathadh
|
At the bottom of the ship
|
|
'Gus líontar dúinn an crúiscín
|
And the jug would be filled
|
|
Is bíodh sé lán
|
And it would be full
|
|
|
|
|
An dtiochfaidh tú, nó 'n bhfanfaidh tú
|
Will you come, or will you stay?
|
|
Nó 'n dtiocfaidh tú a Dhómhnaill
|
Or will you come, Donald?
|
|
An dtiochfaidh tú nó 'n bhfanfaidh tú
|
Will you come, or will you stay?
|
|
Nó 'bhfúil dó dhóthan ólta?
|
Or did you drink your share?
|
|
Tiocfaidh mé 's ní fhanfaidh mé
|
I will come, and I won't stay
|
|
Is tá mo dhóthan ólta
|
I have had my share to drink
|
|
Is beidh an cailín deas agam
|
And I will have the pretty girl
|
|
Má glacann sí mo comhairle
|
If she takes my advice
|
|
'Gus líontar dúinn an crúiscín
|
And the jug would be filled
|
|
Is bíodh sé lán
|
And it would be full
|
|
|
|
|
Is deas a' baile an baile seo
|
This town is a nice town
|
|
Is deas an baile Cnáimhsí
|
The town of Cnáimhsí is nice
|
|
Is deise an baile an baile seo
|
This town is a better town
|
|
Na baile ar bith 'san áit seo
|
Than any town in this place
|
|
Tá siad congar aifrinn ann
|
They are whispering mass here
|
|
Muilinn agus ceardchan
|
Mills and workshops
|
|
'S na mhéanar do 'n mhnaoi óig
|
Isn't the young maid lucky
|
|
Beadh na cónaí ann ach ráithe
|
To live here
|
|
Is líontar dúinn an crúiscín
|
And the jug would be filled
|
|
Is biódh sé lán
|
And it would be full
|
