lirik lagu níl sé ina lá (níl sé’n lá) – clannad

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 (public) house last night
and asked the barmaid for credit
and she said “ you wont get a drop.
hit the road and go home”

i put my hand in my pocket
and asked her for change of a shilling
and she said “sit down at the table
and drink here till the morning”

“get up, man of the house
put on your trousers and hat
to keep music with the gentleman
who will be drinking here till the morning”

am i not the man without common sense
who left his rent in his throat?
i brought woe on myself
and i brought happiness to someone else.
