Nuair a gheobhas mé bás Na cuirigí faoi fhód mé Tabhair go tí 'n leanna mé 'Gus cóirigí ar bórd mé An áit a mbéidh mé 'g éisteacht le Na mugannaí dá mbualadh Is gur binne liom naoi n-uaire é Na ceol binn na cuaiche 'Gus líontar dúinn an crúiscín Is bíodh sé lán
Tá cailín ar an bhaile seo Agus tá sí lách aereach Tá sí lách geanamhail 'Gus loinnir ar a héadán Mac-a-samhail chan fhaca mé I mbaile nó i n-áthrach Ach an pamhsaí Neillí bhi Ar thoin na loing a lathadh 'Gus líontar dúinn an crúiscín Is bíodh sé lán
An dtiochfaidh tú, nó 'n bhfanfaidh tú Nó 'n dtiocfaidh tú a Dhómhnaill An dtiochfaidh tú nó 'n bhfanfaidh tú Nó 'bhfúil dó dhóthan ólta? Tiocfaidh mé 's ní fhanfaidh mé Is tá mo dhóthan ólta Is beidh an cailín deas agam Má glacann sí mo comhairle 'Gus líontar dúinn an crúiscín Is bíodh sé lán
Is deas a' baile an baile seo Is deas an baile Cnáimhsí Is deise an baile an baile seo Na baile ar bith 'san áit seo Tá siad congar aifrinn ann Muilinn agus ceardchan 'S na mhéanar do 'n mhnaoi óig Beadh na cónaí ann ach ráithe Is líontar dúinn an crúiscín Is biódh sé lán
When I die Don't put me under the ground Take me to the pub And set me on the table The place were I will hear The tankers banging I'd prefer it for nine hours Than the soothing music of the cuckoo And the jug would be filled
And it would be full There is a girl in this town And she is quite joyful She is quite cheery And there's a shine on her forehead I didn't see Mac-a-samhail In town or anywhere But posey Nelly was At the bottom of the ship And the jug would be filled And it would be full
Will you come, or will you stay? Or will you come, Donald? Will you come, or will you stay? Or did you drink your share? I will come, and I won't stay I have had my share to drink And I will have the pretty girl If she takes my advice And the jug would be filled And it would be full
This town is a nice town The town of Cnáimhsí is nice This town is a better town Than any town in this place They are whispering mass here Mills and workshops Isn't the young maid lucky To live here And the jug would be filled And it would be full
