Clannad – Nil Se 'na Lá lyrics

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.
