I went to the fair and sold my cow
Chuaigh me chun aonaigh is dhiol me mo bho
For five pounds of silver and a yellow guinea of gold
Ar chuig phunta airgid is ar ghini bhui oir
If I drink the silver and if I give away the gold
Ma olaim an t-airgead is ma bhronnaim an t-or
O what is that to anyone else.
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
If I drink the silver and if I give away the gold
Ma olaim an t-airgead is ma bhronnaim an t-or
O what is that to anyone else.
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
If I go to the leafy woods gathering berries or chestnuts,
Ma theim na choille chraobhaigh cruinniu smeara no cno
Plucking apples from branches or herding cows,
A bhaint ullai de gheaga no a bhuachailleacht bo
If I stretch out for a while beneath a tree relaxing,
Ma shinim seal uaire faoi chrann a deanamh so
O what is that to anyone else.
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
If I stretch out for a while beneath a tree relaxing,
Ma shinim seal uaire faoi chrann a dheanamn so
O what is that to anyone else.
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
If I go for a night-visit and for dancing and sport,
Ma theimse chuig airneal is rince is sport
To fairs and races and every gathering of that sort,
Chuig aonach is rasai's gach cruinniu den tsort
If I see happy people and if I'm happy with them,
Ma chim daoine sugach is ma bhim sugach leo
O what is that to anyone else.
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
If I see happy people and if I'm happy with them,
Ma chim daoine sugach is ma bhim sugach leo
O what is that to anyone else.
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
People say I'm without riches no doubt,
Deir daoine go bhfuil me gan rath's gan doigh
Without goods or clothes or cattle or stock,
Gan earra gan eadach gan bolacht na stor
If I a happy living in a hovel,
Ma ta mise sasta mo chonai I gcro
O what is that to anyone else.
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
If I a happy living in a hovel,
Ma ta mise sasta mo chonai I gcro
O what is that to anyone else.
O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
