| Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir
| I went into a house last night
|
| Is d’iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna
| And I asked the beer lady for friends
|
| Is é dúirt sí liom «Ní bhfaighidh tú deor
| She told me «You will not get a tear
|
| Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile»
| Hit the road and go home »
|
| Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
| It is not the day, nor the days
|
| Níl sé'n lá is ní bheidh go maidin
| It's not the day and it won't be until morning
|
| Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
| It is not the day, nor the days
|
| Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
| The moon is a high light
|
| Chuir mé féin mo lámh i mo phóca
| I put my hand in my pocket
|
| Is d’iarr mé briseadh scillinge uirthi
| I asked her for a shilling break
|
| Is é dúirt sí liom «Suigh síos ag bord
| She told me «Sit down at a table
|
| Is bí ag ól anseo go maidin»
| Drink here until morning »
|
| Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
| It is not the day, nor the days
|
| Níl sé'n lá is ní bheidh go maidin
| It's not the day and it won't be until morning
|
| Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
| It is not the day, nor the days
|
| Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
| The moon is a high light
|
| «Éirigh i do shuí, a fhear an tí
| «Sit down, man of the house
|
| Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata
| Put on your trousers and hat
|
| Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir
| That you oppose music with the fair person
|
| A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin»
| Will be drinking here until morning »
