Chuaigh me chun aonaigh is dhiol me mo bho Ar chuig phunta airgid is ar ghini bhui oir Ma olaim an t-airgead is ma bhronnaim an t-or O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do Ma olaim an t-airgead is ma bhronnaim an t-or O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
Ma theim na choille chraobhaigh cruinniu smeara no cno A bhaint ullai de gheaga no a bhuachailleacht bo Ma shinim seal uaire faoi chrann a deanamh so O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do Ma shinim seal uaire faoi chrann a dheanamn so O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
Ma theimse chuig airneal is rince is sport Chuig aonach is rasai's gach cruinniu den tsort Ma chim daoine sugach is ma bhim sugach leo O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do Ma chim daoine sugach is ma bhim sugach leo O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
Deir daoine go bhfuil me gan rath's gan doigh Gan earra gan eadach gan bolacht na stor Ma ta mise sasta mo chonai i gcro O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do Ma ta mise sasta mo chonai i gcro O caide sin do'n te sin nach mbaineann sin do
What's it to anyone?
I went to the fair and I sold my cow For five pounds of silver and a golden guinnea If I drink the money and if I spend the gold Oh what does it matter to those it doesn't concern
If I go to the thick woods to gather berries or nuts Take apples from the branches or become a cowherd If I stretch out under a tree for an hour to do it Oh what does it matter to those it doesn't concern
If I go to night-visiting and dance and have fun To a fair and races and everything like that If I see tipsy people and if I'm tipsy with them Oh what does it matter to those it doesn't concern
People say that I'm good for nothing and a wastrel Without goods without clothes, without kith or kine If I'm happy with living in a shack Oh what does it matter to those it doesn't concern
