| Chuaigh mé 'un aonaigh 's dhíol mé mo bhó
| I went to the fair and sold my cow
|
| Ar chúig phunta airgid 's ar ghiní bhuí óir
| For five pounds of silver and a yellow guinea of gold
|
| Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór
| If I drink the money I give the gold
|
| Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?
| Oh what are we to that hot one that doesn't belong to him?

| Oh what are we to that hot one that doesn't belong to him?
|
| Má théim 'na choilleadh chraobhaigh 'cruinniú sméara nó cnó
| If I go to the forest of branches 'gathering of berries or nuts
|
| A baint ullaí do ghéaga nó a buachailleacht bó
| Dehorning your limbs or cowering
|
| Má shínim seal uaire faoi chrann a dhéanamh só
| If I extend an hour's spell under a tree it becomes a luxury
|

|
| Má théimse chuig airnéal 's rince 's spórt
| If I go to school and dance and sport
|
| Chuig aonaigh nó rásaí, 's gach cruinniú den tseoirt
| To fairs or races, and all meetings of the sort
|
| Má bhíonn daoine súgach, 's má bhím súgach leo
| If people are juicy, and if I am juicy with them
|
| Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?
| Oh what are we to that hot one that doesn't belong to him?

|
| Deir daoine go bhfuil mé gan rath is gan dóigh
| People say I'm hopeless and hopeless
|
| Gan earraí, gan éadal, gan bólacht nó stór
| No goods, no goods, no cattle or store
|
| Ach má tá mise sásta mo chónaí i gcró
| But if I am happy I live in a hole
|
| Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó? | Oh what are we to that hot one that doesn't belong to him? |
| Má tá mise sásta mo chónaí i gcró
| If I am happy I live in peace
|
| Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó? | Oh what are we to that hot one that doesn't belong to him? |
