Cad É Sin Don Te Sin - Orla Fallon

Chuaigh mé 'un aonaigh 's dhíol mé mo bhó

Ar chúig phunta airgid 's ar ghiní bhuí óir

Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór

Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?

Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór

Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?

Má théim 'na choilleadh chraobhaigh 'cruinniú sméara nó cnó

A baint ullaí do ghéaga nó a buachailleacht bó

Má shínim seal uaire faoi chrann a dhéanamh só

Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?

Má shínim seal uaire faoi chrann a dhéanamh só

Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?

Má théimse chuig airnéal 's rince 's spórt

Chuig aonaigh nó rásaí, 's gach cruinniú den tseoirt

Má bhíonn daoine súgach, 's má bhím súgach leo

Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?

Má bhíonn daoine súgach, 's má bhím súgach leo

Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?

Deir daoine go bhfuil mé gan rath is gan dóigh

Gan earraí, gan éadal, gan bólacht nó stór

Ach má tá mise sásta mo chónaí i gcró

Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?

Má tá mise sásta mo chónaí i gcró

Ó cad é sinn don te sin nach mbaineann sin dó?

I went to the fair and sold my cow

For five pounds of silver and a yellow gold guinea

If I drink the money and if I donate the gold

Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?

If I drink the money and if I donate the gold

Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?

If I go 'into the woods' a berry or nut meeting

Removing pulses from your limbs or herding cows

If I sign a spell off under a tree to make a luxury

Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?

If I sign a spell off under a tree to make a luxury

Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?

If I went to an art and dance and sport

To fairs or races, and every meeting of the party

If people are merry, and if I am merry with them

Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?

If people are merry, and if I am merry with them

Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?

People say I'm unsuccessful and hopeless

No goods, no possessions, no cattle or treasure

But if I'm happy I live in a cage

Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?

If I'm happy to live in a cage

Oh what are we for that hot that does not apply to him?
