Song | Níl Sé'n Lá |
Artist | Clannad |
Album | Live in Concert |
Chuaigh mé isteach I dteach aréir | |
Is d'iarr mé cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna. | |
Is é dúirt sí liom "ní bhfaighidh tú deor. | |
Buail an bóthar is gabh abhaile." | |
Curfá: | |
Níl sé ina lá, níl a ghrá, | |
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go maidin, | |
Níl sé ina lá is ní bheidh go fóill, | |
Solas ard atá sa ghealaigh. | |
Chuir mé féin mo lámh I mo phóca | |
Is d'iarr mé briseadh scillinge uirthi. | |
Is é dúirt sí liom "suigh síos ag bord | |
Is bí ag ól anseo go maidin." | |
Curfá | |
"éirigh I do shuí, a fhear an tí, | |
Cuir ort do bhrístí is do hata | |
Go gcoinne tú ceol leis an duine cóir | |
A bheas ag ól anseo go maidin." | |
Curfá | |
Nach mise féin an fear gan chéill | |
A d'fhág mo chíos in mo scornaigh? | |
D'fhág mé léan orm féin | |
Is d'fhág mé séan 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. |
