Translation - Caide sin don te sin

[xst...@vse.cz]

Greetings,

Few days ago I heard for the first time song "Caide sin don te sin" played
by Altan. I dont know if this is the correct title of the song, my friend
has this name on the cover of his cassette. I'd like to ask some kind soul
of this newsgroup to tell me, if there is an english translation of it and -
where I can find it.
Thanks a lot,Yurik.

You can find it by buying the CD, Runaway Sunday, which prints the lyrics in
Irish and English

Or I could infringe copyright laws and quote it here:

I went to the market and traded my cow
for five pounds in money and a gold guinea coin.
If I drank all the money and my gold I did share,
Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care.

If I go to the green woods wild berries to store
plucking apples from bowers or herding the cows.
If I relax in the shade for an hour or more
Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care.

If I go to céilis, to dances or sports
attend markets and races and events of that sort.
If I see people merry and their merriment share
Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care.

People are saying I'm a cad gone astray
without goods or possessions, no cow and no care.
If it's my only desire to live in a craw
Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care.

Alan
