GUEST Lyr Req: Deandraimin Dilis original version (17) RE: Lyr Req: Deandraimin Dilis original version 16 Feb 25


Dia dhaoibh. For those who are interested, these are the lyrics to the kids version sung by Pádraigín Ní Uallacháin. Keep in mind that like many traditional Irish songs, the refrain is made up of words that sound like words, but are just gibberish.

Éirigh a Sheáin, tá sé am dhuit bheith i do shuí
- Get up, John, it’s time for you to sit up

Deandraimín baorbach éigeantach amantach
Deamhas-bó dilín ó deaindí
- Two lines of absolute gibberish, repeated after each line

Suigh ar an bhord, bí ag ól agus ag ithe leat
- Sit at the table, drink and eat

Tóg leat do mhála agus amach chun na scoile leat
- Take your bag and off you go to school

Slán leat go fóill agus céad slán go bhfille tú
- By for now and one hundred goodbyes until you return
