Níl Sé'n Lá [English translation]

I went into a public house last night

And I asked the barwoman for credit

She said to me, "You won't get a drop

Hit the road and go home".

I came by a house last night

And told the woman I am staying

I said to her: "The moon is bright

and my fiddles tuned for playing"

Tell me that the night is long

Tell me that the moon is glowing

Fill my glass I'll sing a song

And will start the music flowing.

Never mind the rising light

There's no sign of day or dawning

In my heart it's still the night

And we'll stay here till the morning

[Chorus:]

It's not yet the day, nor the day

It's not yet day and it won't be 'til morning

It is not yet the day, nor the day

A high light is in the moon.

It is not yet the day, nor the day

It's not yet day and it won't be 'til morning

It is not yet the day, nor the day

A high light is in the moon.

Fill the glasses one more time

And never heed the empty bottle

Turn the water into wine

And turn the party up full throttle

Don't go out into the cold

Where the wind and rain are blowing

For the fire is flaming gold

And in here the music's flowing

[Chorus:]

Tell me that the night is long

Tell me that the moon is gleaming

Fill my glass, I’ll sing a song

And we'll keep the music streaming

Until all the songs are sung

[Chorus x4]
