Translation of the song lyrics Bacach Shíl Andaí - Altan

Bacach Shíl Andaí (original)

An raibh tu i gCill Alla no Caislean a' Bharraigh
Bhfaca tu campai a bhi ag na Francaigh?
Mise 'gus tusa 'gus ruball na muice
'Gus bacach Shil' Andai, bacach Shil' Andai
Bhi me i gCill Alla is Caislean a' Bharraigh
Chonaic me campai bhi ag na Francaigh
Mise 'gus tusa 'gus ruball na muice
'Gus bacach Shil' Andai, bacach Shil' Andai
An raibh tu ar a chruach no bhfaca tu slua
Bhi ar Chnoc Phadraig, bhi ar Chnoc Phadraig?
Mise 'gus tusa 'gus ruball na muice
'Gus bacach Shil' Andai, bacach Shil' Andai r
A bhi me ar a chruach is chonaic me slua
A bhi ar Chnoc Phadraig, bhi ar Chnoc Phadraig
Mise 'gus tusa 'gus ruball na muice
'Gus bacach Shil' Andai

Bacach Shíl Andaí (translation)

Were you in Killall or Castlebar?
Did you see the French having camps?
Me 'and you' and the pig rub
And the lame Shil 'Andai, the lame Shil' Andai
I was in Killall and Castlebar
I saw camps the French had
Me 'and you' and the pig rub
And the lame Shil 'Andai, the lame Shil' Andai
Were you on his steel or did you see a crowd
Was it on Patrick's Hill, was it on Patrick's Hill?
Me 'and you' and the pig rub
And Gus lame Shil 'Andai, lame Shil' Andai r
I was on his steel and I saw a crowd
That was on Patrick's Hill, that was on Patrick's Hill
Me 'and you' and the pig rub
'To the lame Shil' Andai
