Altan - Caide Sin Don Té Sin?

Lyrics:	English Translation:

Chuaigh mé 'un aonaigh 's dhíol mé mo bhó	I went to the market and traded my cow
Ar chúig phunta airgid 's ar ghiní bhuí óir	For five pounds in money and a gold guinea coin
Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór	If I drank all the money and my gold I did share
Ó caide sin don té sin nach mbaineann sin dó?	Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care

Má théim 'na choilleadh chraobhaigh 'cruinniú sméara nó cnó	If I go to the green woods wild berries to store
A baint ullaí do ghéaga nó a buachailleacht bó	Plucking apples from bowers or herding the cows
Má shínim seal uaire faoi chrann a dhéanamh só	If I relax in the shade for an hour or more
Ó caide sin don té sin nach mbaineann sin dó?	Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care

Má théimse chuig airnéal 's rince 's spórt	If I go to the céilís, to dances or sports
Chuig aonaigh nó rásaí, 's gach cruinniú den tseoirt	Attend markets and races and events of that sort
Má bhíonn daoine súgach, 's má bhím súgach leo	If I see people merry and their merriment share
Ó caide sin don té sin nach mbaineann sin dó?	Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care

Deir daoine go bhfuil mé gan rath is gan dóigh	People are saying I'm a cad gone astray
Gan earraí, gan éadal, gan bólacht nó stór	Without goods or possessions, no cow and no care
Ach má tá mise sásta mo chónaí i gcró	If it's my own desire to live in a craw
Ó caide sin don té sin nach mbaineann sin dó?	Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care

Chuaigh mé 'un aonaigh 's dhíol mé mo bhó	I went to the market and traded my cow
Ar chúig phunta airgid 's ar ghiní bhuí óir	For five pounds in money and a gold guinea coin
Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór	If I drank all the money and my gold I did share
Ó caide sin don té sin nach mbaineann sin dó?	Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care
