|
Crá ort a shagairt Uí Dhónaill
|
Bad luck to you, Father O'Donnell
|
|
Nach dona go deo mar a d'imigh tú
|
And wicked the road that you're going now
|
|
Léigh sé an tAifreann Dé Domhnaigh
|
Last Sunday you read out the holy mass
|
|
Is bhí sé maidin Dé Luain ina mhinistéir
|
But on Monday you turned a minister
|
|
|
|
|
Curfá

Chorus
:
|
|
Pill, pill a rúin ó
|
Turn, turn, my dear
|
|
Pill a rúin ó is ná himigh uaim
|
Turn, my dear and don't go now
|
|
Pill a chuisle is a stóirín ó
|
Turn, my own heart's dear
|
|
Is gheobhaigh tú an ghlóir má philleann tú
|
And God's glory awaits you if you turn again
|
|
|
|
|
Dá bhfeicfeadh sibh Neilí Dé Domhnaigh
|
If you saw Nelly on Sunday
|
|
Is a gúna bán go sála uirthi
|
A white gown down to the ground she wore
|
|
Búclaí buí ina bróga
|
Buckles of gold on both her shoes
|
|
Is í á tarraingt sa ród mar phúca
|
And she drawn along the road like a ghost
|
|
|
|
|
Tá mallacht na sagart is na mbráithre leat
|
The curse of the priest goes with you now
|
|
In do mhála ag imeacht duit
|
The curse of the friars you'll carry, too
|
|
Is nach measa duit mallacht do mháthara
|
But the heaviest curse that you'll ever bear
|
|
Ná a bhfaca tú ariamh den bhunadh sin
|
Is the mother's curse that I put on you
|
|
|
|
|
Thréig tú Peadar is Pól
|
You've forsaken Peter and Paul
|
|
Agus thréig tú Eoin is an bunadh sin
|
You've forsaken St. John and the other saints
|
|
Thréig tú an Mhaighdeán is an ghlóir
|
You've forsaken God's glory and the Virgin, too
|
|
Is nach dona go deo mar a d'imigh tú
|
Wicked is the road that you're going now
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Beidh tú in ifreann go fóill
|
Oh it's down in hell that you will weep
|
|
Is na sróite deora ag sileadh leat
|
A river of tears you'll shed down there
|
|
Sin an áit a bhfaighidh tú an t-eolas
|
And it's there you'll learn the truth of it
|
|
Cé acu is fearr leis an sagart ná an mhinistéir
|
If He'd rather the priest or the minister
|
|
|
|
|
(Curfá)
|
(Chorus)
|
