Lyrics of Ta Na La - The Wolfe Tones

Ta Na La (original)

O codlas fein, I dthigh areir
Is tuirseach treith, do bhi mo chuisle
Comhra beil, bhi acu go leir
M’ingean fein, is a boch ar buhle
Ta na la, nil na la
Ta na la ‘gus in a mhaidin
Nil ‘na la dheara a ghra
Ach solus ard, ata sa ghealaig
Eir id sui, a fhir a tigh
Cuir do bhriste 'mut gootapaigh
Coinnigh suas cuideachta shuairc
Don chroi mhaith mhor, go
Dtioch an mhaidin
Ta na la, nil na la
Ta na la ‘gus in a mhaidin
Nil ‘na la dheara a ghra
Ach solus ard, ata sa ghealaig
N’eireodh im shui ar fear a tigh
‘Sni cuirfeadh briste’mum na hata
Blas na braon, dem cuidse dighe
Ni raghaidh na gcrol, go dtioch an mhaidin
Ta na la, nil na la
Ta na la ‘gus in a mhaidin
Nil ‘na la dheara a ghra
Ach solus ard, ata sa ghealaig
Ta an barraille thar a ceann
Is ni fheicim ann ach driodar dearg
Ta mo ghini ar an mbord
Is bim ag ol, go dtioch an mhaidin

(translation)

O sleep itself, I dthigh areir
It's a tired character, my pulse was
Conversation, they all had
My own daughter, and her booze
Ta na la, nil na la
The days and the morning
It's not a day of love
But high light, which is in the moon
Eir id sui, men of the house
Put your broken 'mut gootapaigh
Keep up the fun company
For the good big heart, that
Morning heat
Ta na la, nil na la
The days and the morning
It's not a day of love
But high light, which is in the moon
I would not sit on the man of the house
‘Sni would break my hat
The taste of the drops, of my drink
The crows will not leave until the morning
Ta na la, nil na la
The days and the morning
It's not a day of love
But high light, which is in the moon
The barrel is over her head
All I see is red sediment
My guinea is on the table
I'm drinking, until the morning
