Lyrics of Níl Sé 'na Lá - Aoife Ní Fhearraigh

Níl Sé 'na Lá (original)

Níl aon phort dá chuala mé ar phíob
Ó tháinig mé i méadaíocht linbh
Nach raibh liom ar bharr mo bhéil
Isteach i sliabh 's ag gabháil 'n bhaile
Chorus (after each verse):
Níl sé 'na lá nó 'na lá
Níl sé 'na lá nó 'na mhaidin
Níl sé 'na lá 's ní bheidh go fóill
Na níl sé ach uair ó d'éirigh an ghealach
Seo na mugaí, seo na jugaí
Seo an áit a bhfuil an leann
'S muna bhfuil an t-airgead in do phócaí
Buail a' bóthar 's gabh 'n bhaile
Éirigh do shuí a fhear an tí
Is ná bíodh gruaim in do mhalaí
Líon domsa cárta dí
'S gheobhaidh tú'n díolaíocht faoi mhaidin
Chuir mé féin mo lámh in mo phóca
'S tharraing mé anois mo chorrán garbh
'S é dúirt sí liom suigh síos ag bord
Is gheobhaidh tú'n cárta go dtí'n galún
Tá na caoirigh ag ithe’n fhéir
Is tá na huain ag ól an bhainne
Tá mo bhean féin ar fud na tír'
Is mithid domh éirí is gabháil 'na bhaile

(translation)

There's no tune I've heard on a pipe
Since I became a child kid
That I was not on top of my mouth
Into a mountain and going home
Chorus (after each verse):
It's not a day or a day
It's not a day or a morning
It's not a day and it still won't be
It's only an hour since the moon rose
Here are the mugs, here are the jugs
This is where the beer is
And if you don't have the money in your pockets
Hit the road and go home
Sit down, man of the house
Don't be sad
Fill me a drink card
And you will get the revenge by morning
I put my hand in my pocket
And now I pulled my rough crescent
She told me to sit down at a table
You get the card to the gallon
The sheep are eating the grass
And the lambs are drinking the milk
My own wife is all over the country '
It's time for me to get up and go home
