Lyrics of Níl Sé'N Lá - Clannad

Níl Sé'N Lá (original)

Chuaigh mé isteach i dteach aréir
Is d’iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna
Is é dúirt sí liom «Ní bhfaighidh tú deor
Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile»
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
Níl sé'n lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
Chuir mé féin mo lámh i mo phóca
Is d’iarr mé briseadh scillinge uirthi
Is é dúirt sí liom «Suigh síos ag bord
Is bí ag ól anseo go maidin»
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
Níl sé'n lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
«Éirigh i do shuí, a fhear an tí
Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata
Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir
A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin»
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
Níl sé'n lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh
«Éirigh i do shuí, a fhear an tí
Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata
Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir
A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin»
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
Níl sé'n lá is ní bheidh go maidin
Níl sé'n lá, ná na lá
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh

(translation)

I went into a house last night
And I asked the beer lady for friends
She told me «You will not get a tear
Hit the road and go home »
It is not the day, nor the days
It's not the day and it won't be until morning
It is not the day, nor the days
The moon is a high light
I put my hand in my pocket
I asked her for a shilling break
She told me «Sit down at a table
Drink here until morning »
It is not the day, nor the days
It's not the day and it won't be until morning
It is not the day, nor the days
The moon is a high light
«Sit down, man of the house
Put on your trousers and hat
That you oppose music with the fair person
Will be drinking here until morning »
It is not the day, nor the days
It's not the day and it won't be until morning
It is not the day, nor the days
The moon is a high light
«Sit down, man of the house
Put on your trousers and hat
That you oppose music with the fair person
Will be drinking here until morning »
It is not the day, nor the days
It's not the day and it won't be until morning
It is not the day, nor the days
The moon is a high light
