Chuaigh m isteach I dteach arir

Is dirt s liom "n bhfaighidh t deor.
Buail an bthar is gabh abhaile. "
Curf:
Nl s ina l, nl a ghr,
Nl s ina l is n bheidh go maidin,
Nl s ina l is n bheidh go fill,
Solas ard at sa ghealaigh.
Chuir m fin mo lmh I mo phca
Is d'iarr m briseadh scillinge uirthi.
Is dirt s liom "suigh sos ag bord
Is b ag l anseo go maidin. "
Curf
"éirigh I do shu, a fhear an t,
Cuir ort do bhrst is do hata
Go gcoinne t ceol leis an duine cir
A bheas ag l anseo go maidin. "
Curf
Nach mise fin an fear gan chill
A d'fhg mo chos in mo scornaigh?
D'fhg m lan orm fin
Is d'fhg m san ar dhaoine eile.
Translation
I went into a tavern, and the barkeep,
Doesn't much care for the look of me.
I look like I've got no money on me.
She tells me to hit the road.
I put my hand into my pocket,
I asked if she could break a shilling.
She said to me "sit down at the table,
You'll be drinking here 'till morning. "
She roused the man of the house,
Tells him to get up, put his trousers and hat on,
And go out and find a musician to entertain me,
So i'll stay here drinking until morning.
Was I the man without sense
To leave my money when I'd been scorned?
I left woefully,
I left a sign to other people.
