Caide Sin Do'n Te Sin

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.

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.

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.

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.
