This Irish folk song translates to a comedic cautionary tale.

Ni Na La Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Tá na caoirigh ag ithe an gheamhair
Tá na gamhna ag ól an bhainne
Prátaí síos gan díolachán
'S duine gan mheabhair na raghfá abhaile
Is deas an bhean í Siobhán óg
Gúna nua uirthi aníos ón siopa
Is breathnaím ar mo ghiní óir
'S í a' rince ar an mbord leis an phoc ar
[Chorus]
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Níl 'na lá, tá ar maidin
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Is bean a rá, is í ar fhaga
[Verse 2]
Don't send me out into the dark
The night is cold and I'll be perished
Come to bed with me awhile
We'll have a roll around the blankets
[Chorus]
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Níl 'na lá, tá ar maidin
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Is bean a rá, is í ar fhaga
[Verse 3]
Buailim suas, buailim síos
Buailim cleamhan ar bhean a leanna
Cuirim giní óir ar an mbord
Is bím ag ól anseo go maidin
[Chorus]
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Níl 'na lá, tá ar maidin
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Is bean a rá, is í ar fhaga
[Verse 4]
Tá mo bhróga i dtigh an óil
Tá mo stocaí i dtigh a' leanna
Tá na coiligh go léir ag glaoch
'S b'éigean domsa 'dhul abhaile
[Chorus]
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Níl 'na lá, tá ar maidin
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Is bean a rá, is í ar fhaga
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Níl 'na lá, tá ar maidin
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Is bean a rá, is í ar fhaga
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Níl 'na lá, tá ar maidin
Níl 'na lá, tá 'na lá
Is bean a rá, is í ar fhaga
