Translation of the song lyrics The Lark In The Clear Air / Olam Punch - The Chieftains, Punch Brothers

The Lark In The Clear Air / Olam Punch (original)

Ólaim puins is ólaim tae
Is an lá ina dhiaidh sin ólaim toddaí
Ní bhím ar meisce ach uair sa ré
Mo ghrása an déirc is an té do cheap í
Lá má bhím le híota tréith
Bím lá 'na dhiaidh ag glaoch na gcannaí
Lá le fíon is arís gan bhraon
Mo ghrása an déirc is an té do cheap í
Ólaim puins srl
AAr mo theacht a luí ar thréad
An bhuí san fhéith is na héimhe ag leanaí
Báisteach fhill is rinn ar ghaoth
Ó, táim le déirc ní baol do mo gharraí
Ólaim puins srl
Is sámh a bhím i mo luí le gríin
Gan suim sa saol ach sclíip is starraíocht
Gan cháin gan chíos ach m’intinn saor
Nach fearr í an déirc ná céird is ealaín!
Ólaim puins srl

The Lark In The Clear Air / Olam Punch (translation)

I drink punch and I drink tea
The next day I drink cigars
I only get drunk once in a while
My love is almsgiving and the one who conceived it
A day if I have a characteristic iota
The next day I call the cans
A day with wine and again without a drop
My love is almsgiving and the one who conceived it
I drink puns etc.
On my arrival to impress a flock
The yellow in the vein and the tenderness of children
Rain returned and a gust of wind
Oh, I am a beggar not a danger to my garden
I drink puns etc.
I lie quietly in the sun
Not interested in life but skipping and storytelling
No tax no rent but my mind is free
Is not alms better than crafts and art!
I drink puns etc.
