Lá Sona Naomh Pádraig!

To wish you a Happy Saint Pat's Day, a little something from The Pogues:

Más rud é ba chóir dom titim ó cairde le Dia

Más rud é ba chóir dom titim ó cairde le Dia
nuair is féidir aon dochtúir faoiseamh dom
Má tá mé burried faoin bhfód
ach ní bheidh na haingil a fháil dom

Lig dom dul, buachaillí
Lig dom dul, buachaillí
Lig dom dul síos sa láib
i gcás na n-aibhneacha a reáchtáil go léir tirim

An talamh a bhí i gcónaí linne
an raibh an talamh bródúil as ár n-aithreacha
Baineann sí le linn agus iad a
gan aon cheann de na cinn eile

Lig dóibh buachaillí dul
Lig dóibh buachaillí dul
Lig dóibh dul síos sa láib
i gcás na n-aibhneacha a reáchtáil go léir tirim

Bury dom ar muir
i gcás nach féidir Ghost dúnmharaíodh haunt me
Má tá mé carraig ar bharr na dtonnta
ní féidir aon corpse bheidh orm

Tá sé seo ag teacht suas triúr buachaillí
Gcoimeádann teacht suas triúr buachaillí
Lig dóibh dul síos sa láib
i gcás na n-aibhneacha a reáchtáil go léir tirim

Más rud é ba chóir dom titim ó cairde le Dia
nuair is féidir aon dochtúir faoiseamh dom
Má tá mé burried faoin bhfód
agus fós ní bheidh na haingil a fháil dom

Lig dom dul, buachaillí
Lig dom dul, buachaillí
Lig dom dul síos sa láib
i gcás na n-aibhneacha a reáchtáil go léir tirim
And, should my Irish be as pathetic as I pretty much know it is:


If I should fall from grace with god
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
But the angels won't receive me

Let me go boys
Let me go boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

This land was always ours
Was the proud land of our fathers
It belongs to us and them
Not to any of the others

Let them go boys
Let them go boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

Bury me at sea
Where no murdered ghost can haunt me
If I rock upon the waves
No corpse can lie upon me

It's coming up three boys
Keeps coming up three boys
Let them go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry

If I should fall from grace with god
Where no doctor can relieve me
If I'm buried 'neath the sod
And still the angels won't receive me

Let me go boys
Let me go boys
Let me go down in the mud
Where the rivers all run dry
