Translation of the song lyrics Cad É Sin Don Te Sin - Orla Fallon

Cad É Sin Don Te Sin (original)

Chuaigh mé 'un aonaigh 's dhíol mé mo bhó
Ar chúig phunta airgid 's ar ghiní bhuí óir
Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór
Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?
Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór
Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?
Má théim 'na choilleadh chraobhaigh 'cruinniú sméara nó cnó
A baint ullaí do ghéaga nó a buachailleacht bó
Má shínim seal uaire faoi chrann a dhéanamh só
Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?
Má shínim seal uaire faoi chrann a dhéanamh só
Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?
Má théimse chuig airnéal 's rince 's spórt
Chuig aonaigh nó rásaí, 's gach cruinniú den tseoirt
Má bhíonn daoine súgach, 's má bhím súgach leo
Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?
Má bhíonn daoine súgach, 's má bhím súgach leo
Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?
Deir daoine go bhfuil mé gan rath is gan dóigh
Gan earraí, gan éadal, gan bólacht nó stór
Ach má tá mise sásta mo chónaí i gcró
Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?
Má tá mise sásta mo chónaí i gcró
Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?

Cad É Sin Don Te Sin (translation)

I went to the fair and sold my cow
For five pounds of silver and a yellow gold guinea
If I drink the money and if I donate the gold
Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?
If I drink the money and if I donate the gold
Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?
If I go 'into the woods' a berry or nut meeting
Removing pulses from your limbs or herding cows
If I sign a spell off under a tree to make a luxury
Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?
If I sign a spell off under a tree to make a luxury
Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?
If I went to an art and dance and sport
To fairs or races, and every meeting of the party
If people are merry, and if I am merry with them
Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?
If people are merry, and if I am merry with them
Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?
People say I'm unsuccessful and hopeless
No goods, no possessions, no cattle or treasure
But if I'm happy I live in a cage
Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?
If I'm happy to live in a cage
Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?
