Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Níl aon oíche 'dhéanaim cleas |
There isn't a night that I play tricks |
|
Nach bhfaighim im is ubh na gcearc |
That I don't get butter and an egg from the hen |
|
Siúcra bulóige síos lem'ais |
A sugar loaf put down beside me |
|
An chearc ar fad sa tsáspan |
And all the hen in the saucepan |
| |
|
|
Curfá: |
Chorus: |
|
Óró mo ghiolla beag |
Oro my little boy |
|
Grá mo chroí mo ghiolla 's tú |
My own love, my own boy |
|
Óró mo ghiolla beag |
Oro my little boy |
|
'S tú peata beag do mháthar |
You are your mother's little pet |
| |
|
|
Téigh is tabhair na gabhair abhaile |
Go and bring the goats home |
|
Téigh is tabhair na gabhair abhaile |
Go and bring the goats home |
|
Téigh is tabhair na gabhair abhaile |
Go and bring the goats home |
|
Is meannán beag don pháiste |
And a small goat for the baby |
| |
|
|
(Curfá 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |
| |
|
|
Ceannóidh mise bagún duit |
I'll buy bacon for you |
|
Ceannóidh mise bagún duit |
I'll buy bacon for you |
|
Ceannóidh mise bagún duit |
I'll buy bacon for you |
|
Is cupla tor cabaiste |
And a couple of heads of cabbage |
| |
|
|
(Curfá) |
(Chorus) |
| |
|
|
Ceannóidh mise bróga duit |
I'll buy a pair of shoes for you |
|
Ceannóidh mise bróga duit |
I'll buy a pair of shoes for you |
|
Ceannóidh mise bróga duit |
I'll buy a pair of shoes for you |
|
'S stocaí beaga bána |
And little, white socks |
| |
|
|
(Curfá 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |
