Chuaigh mй isteach I dteach arйir

Is d'iarr mй cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.

Is й dъirt sн liom nн bhfaighidh tъ deor.

Buail an bуthar is gabh abhaile.

Curfб:

Nнl sй ina lб, nнl a ghrб,

Nнl sй ina lб is nн bheidh go maidin,

Nнl sй ina lб is nн bheidh go fуill,

Solas ard atб sa ghealaigh.

Chuir mй fйin mo lбmh I mo phуca

Is d'iarr mй briseadh scillinge uirthi.

Is й dъirt sн liom suigh sнos ag bord

Is bн ag уl anseo go maidin.

Curfб

éirigh I do shuн, a fhear an tн,

Cuir ort do bhrнstн is do hata

Go gcoinne tъ ceol leis an duine cуir

A bheas ag уl anseo go maidin.

Curfб

Nach mise fйin an fear gan chйill

A d'fhбg mo chнos in mo scornaigh?

D'fhбg mй lйan orm fйin

Is d'fhбg mй sйan 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.
