| Níl aon phort dá chuala mé ar phíob
| There's no tune I've heard on a pipe
|
| Ó tháinig mé i méadaíocht linbh
| Since I became a child kid
|
| Nach raibh liom ar bharr mo bhéil
| That I was not on top of my mouth
|
| Isteach i sliabh 's ag gabháil 'n bhaile
| Into a mountain and going home
|
| Chorus (after each verse):
| Chorus (after each verse):
|
| Níl sé 'na lá nó 'na lá
| It's not a day or a day
|
| Níl sé 'na lá nó 'na mhaidin
| It's not a day or a morning
|
| Níl sé 'na lá 's ní bheidh go fóill
| It's not a day and it still won't be
|
| Na níl sé ach uair ó d'éirigh an ghealach
| It's only an hour since the moon rose
|
| Seo na mugaí, seo na jugaí
| Here are the mugs, here are the jugs
|
| Seo an áit a bhfuil an leann
| This is where the beer is
|
| 'S muna bhfuil an t-airgead in do phócaí
| And if you don't have the money in your pockets
|
| Buail a' bóthar 's gabh 'n bhaile
| Hit the road and go home
|
| Éirigh do shuí a fhear an tí
| Sit down, man of the house
|
| Is ná bíodh gruaim in do mhalaí
| Don't be sad
|
| Líon domsa cárta dí
| Fill me a drink card
|
| 'S gheobhaidh tú'n díolaíocht faoi mhaidin
| And you will get the revenge by morning
|
| Chuir mé féin mo lámh in mo phóca
| I put my hand in my pocket
|
| 'S tharraing mé anois mo chorrán garbh
| And now I pulled my rough crescent
|
| 'S é dúirt sí liom suigh síos ag bord
| She told me to sit down at a table
|
| Is gheobhaidh tú'n cárta go dtí'n galún
| You get the card to the gallon
|
| Tá na caoirigh ag ithe’n fhéir
| The sheep are eating the grass
|
| Is tá na huain ag ól an bhainne
| And the lambs are drinking the milk
|
| Tá mo bhean féin ar fud na tír'
| My own wife is all over the country '
|
| Is mithid domh éirí is gabháil 'na bhaile | It's time for me to get up and go home |
