Translation of the song lyrics Buaireadh An Phósta - Clannad

Buaireadh An Phósta (original)

Cúradh croi ar a phósadh
Is ar buachaillí óg an tsaoil
Nár bhfearr dóbhta cailín beag dóighiúil
Nó 'bean agus puntai léi?
Oiche mhór shneachta nó shiobtha
Nár dheas a bheith comhrá léi
Seachas a' cailín dubh bui sa chuid puntai
Agus i bheith ag gearán go géar
Nach mise a bhi aoibhinn sásta
Ag ragaireacht lá gan léan
Nó gur chuireas mo mhér ins an fhainne
Agus coráin ar chlár dó 'n chléir
Fuair mé an bhean a bhí i ndán domh
Ach má tá, chan í grá mo chroí
Ach cailin dubh buí a bhios ag srannfaí
Is ag tarraingt tsuisin léi
An oiche udai rinneadh mo chleamhans
Dar a leabhra char mhian liom é
Gealladh naoi mbó fichead domh
Le cailin dubh bui gan scéimh
Gealladh naoi mbó fichead domh
Le cailin dubh bui gan chéill
Ach mo mhairg gur phós mé ariamh
I is ainnir na gcraobh mo dhiaidh
Dé Mairt a rinneadh mo chleamhnas
Mo chreach is m’amhgar géar
Ghlac mise cómhairle mo mhuinntir
Is páirt mhór do mo aibhleas é
Pósadh mise go cinnte
Ar sahmahailt na mná gan scéimh
Is trua nár sineadh 'mo chónair
Mé sul a thug mé mo gheall arrimh
Nuair a théim i dtí faire no tórraimh
'Sé fhiafrionnn na hoganai diom
«Caidé mar a mhothionn tú 'n pósadh
No 'n mothúionn tú d’oige dá claci?»
Súim is aithrisim loebha
Go mothaim go mór faraoir
Is an té udai nach bhfuil pósta
Gur aige tá spóirt an tsaoil
Is mise nach ndéan fadh dichéille da
Bhfuigheadh mo chéile bás
An óiche a dfagfainn 's a' chré
I chodlóinn fhéin mo sháith
Cheannóinn culaith maith eadai
Hata 'gus léine bhán
Chuirfinn mo dhúil sa phleisiúr
Agus thógfaidh dhíom buaireamh 'n tsaoil

Buaireadh An Phósta (translation)

Heartbreak at his marriage
It's on the young boys of the world
Wouldn't you rather have a decent little girl
Or 'woman and pounds with her?
A great night of snow or sleet
Wouldn't it be nice to have a conversation with her
Except for the yellow black girl in the pound
And in complaining bitterly
Wasn't I the happy one
Rocking a day without sorrow
Or that I put my finger in the ring
And a crescent on a board for the clergy
I found the woman who was destined for me
But if so, it is not the love of my heart
But a blonde black girl who snores
She's pulling sucks
That night my match was made
According to his books I didn't want it
Twenty-nine cows were promised to me
With a blonde black girl without beauty
Twenty-nine cows were promised to me
With a senseless yellow black girl
But to my chagrin I never married
I am the ainnir of the branches after me
My affair was made on Tuesday
My prey and my sorrow
I took the advice of my people
It's a big part of my aesthetic
I was definitely married
On the image of the beautiful woman
It's a pity my cousin was not stretched
I was before I made my bet
When I go to a watch or a funeral
The hoganai ask me
«How do you feel about marriage?
Or do you feel your childhood clapping? »
I am interested in reciting lions
I feel very sorry
Udai is unmarried
That he has the sports of life
It's me who doesn't make sense of it
My spouse would die
The night I would leave in the clay
I would sleep my fill
I would buy a good suit of clothes
White hat and shirt
I would put my desire in pleasure
And the worries of life will take me away
