1
Chuaigh mé chun aonaigh is dhíol mé mo bhó
Ar chúig phunta airgid is ar ghiní bhuí óir
Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór
Ó cad dé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó

2
Má théim 'na choille chraobhaigh cruinniú smeara nó cró
A bhaint úllaí de ghéaga nó a bhuachailleacht bó
Má shíním seal uaire faoi chrann a dhéanamh só
Ó cad dé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó

3
Má théimse chuig airnéal is rince is spórt
Chuig aonach is rásaí 's gach cruinniú den tsórt
Má chím daoine súgach is má bhím súgach leo
Ó cad dé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó

4
Deir daoine go bhfuil mé gan rath 's gan dóigh
Gan earra gan éadach gan bólacht ná stór
Má tá mise sásta mó chónaí i gcró
Ó cad dé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó

5
Chuaigh mé chun aonaigh is dhíol mé mo bhó
Ar chúig phunta airgid is ar ghiní bhuí óir
Má ólaim an t-airgead is má bhronnaim an t-ór
Ó cad dé sin do'n té sin nach mbaineann sin dó
Nach mbaineann sin dó...srl.




Verse 1
I went to the fair and sold my cow
For five pounds of silver and a yellow guinea of gold
If I drink the silver and if I give away the gold
O what is that to anyone else.
If I drink the silver and if I give away the gold
O what is that to anyone else.

2
If I go to the leafy woods gathering berries or chestnuts,
Plucking apples from branches or herding cows,
If I stretch out for a while beneath a tree relaxing,
O what is that to anyone else.
If I stretch out for a while beneath a tree relaxing,
O what is that to anyone else.

3
If I go for a night-visit and for dancing and sport,
To fairs and races and every gathering of that sort,
If I see happy people and if I'm happy with them,
O what is that to anyone else.
If I see happy people and if I'm happy with them,
O what is that to anyone else.

4
People say I'm without riches no doubt,
Without goods or clothes or cattle or stock,
If I a happy living in a hovel,
O what is that to anyone else.
If I a happy living in a hovel,
O what is that to anyone else.


This is a funny song about a man who wants to live his life his way. Several singers from Donegal have recorded it.

  • The Irish language sounds really nice, if you ask me!

  • Verse 4

    People say I'm without riches no doubt,

    Without goods or clothes or cattle or stock,

    If I a happy living in a hovel,

    O what is that to anyone else.

    If I a happy living in a hovel,

    O what is that to anyone else.

    ==========================

    Basicly this is a funny song about a man who wants to live his life his way and if you don't like it you can feck off. Several singers from Gaoth Dobhair have recorded it.
