Chuaigh m isteach i dteach arir
Is d`iarr m cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.
Is dirt s liom "n bhfaighidh t deor.
Buail an bthar is gabh abhaile."
Curf:
Nl s ina l, nl a ghr,
Nl s ina l is n bheidh go maidin,
Nl s ina l is n bheidh go fill,
Solas ard at sa ghealaigh.
Chuir m fin mo lmh i mo phca
Is d`iarr m briseadh scillinge uirthi.
Is dirt s liom "suigh sos ag bord
Is b ag l anseo go maidin."
Curf
"éirigh i do shu, a fhear an t,
Cuir ort do bhrst is do hata
Go gcoinne t ceol leis an duine cir
A bheas ag l anseo go maidin."
Curf
Nach mise fin an fear gan chill
A d`fhg mo chos in mo scornaigh?
D`fhg m lan orm fin
Is d`fhg m san ar dhaoine eile.
Translation
I went into a tavern, and the barkeep,
Doesn`t much care for the look of me.
I look like i`ve got no money on me.
She tells me to hit the road.
I put my hand into my pocket,
I asked if she could break a shilling.
She said to me "sit down at the table,
You`ll be drinking here `till morning."
She roused the man of the house,
Tells him to get up, put his trousers and hat on,
And go out and find a musician to entertain me,
So i`ll stay here drinking until morning.
Was i the man without sense
To leave my money when i`d been scorned?
I left woefully,
I left a sign to other people.
