Translation of the song lyrics Maidin Aiseach - Karan Casey

Maidin Aiseach (original)

Maidin aiseach d’fhagas clárach
Speal im laimh agam 'smé dul ar triall
Ar mUncail Sean thiar san Dóirin aluinn
A bhí go trath lag anois le bliain
Ar thaobh Suláin chonac cailín alainn
Is í ag fuail le snaithin linn
Is bhí sí'g canadh
Dí i dí a dí
Dí i dí a dí
Dí i dí ding
Seo trasna 'n ath mé le fuadar scáinte
'Gus focail bhreatha go tiubh im' bhéal
Ach thit an clairin on speal im' laimh uaim
Ins an tsruthán bhí a rith le síon
Bheanníos go lach dí mar a dhéanfadh sar fhear
Is focail bhreatha go tiubh am bhéal
Ach lean sí gabhail don
Dí i dí a dí
Dí i dí a dí
Dí i dí ding

Maidin Aiseach (translation)

An axial morning of a program
I have a scythe in my hand and I'm going on a trial
On Uncle Sean west in Dóirin aluinn
Which has been a weak time for a year now
On Sullane's side I saw a beautiful girl
She is urinating with a thread with us
And she was singing
Drink in drink and drink
Drink in drink and drink
Drink in a wedge
Here I come across with a cracked bustle
'And thick words in my mouth
But the clarinet fell from the scythe in my hand
In the stream was a stream of rain
Bless a drink duck as a man would do
Mouth words are thick words
But she continued to embrace the
Drink in drink and drink
Drink in drink and drink
Drink in a wedge
