Clannad

Clannad (Irish pronunciation: [kl̪ˠan̪ˠad̪ˠ]) are an Irish band formed in 1970 in Gweedore, County Donegal. Their music has been variously described as bordering on folk and folk rock, traditional Irish, Celtic and New Age, often incorporating elements of an even broader spectrum of smooth jazz and Gregorian chant.

Chuaigh mé isteach I dteach aréir
Is d'iarr mé cairde are 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 are 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.
