Nead na Lachan

Lyrics - Irish

(Irish folk song)

Nead na lachan sa mhúta 
Nead na lachan sa mhúta 
Nead na lachan sa mhúta 
‘s cuirfidh mé amach ar an gcuan thú (repeat)

Refrain
Haigh dí didil dí didil dí 
Haigh dí dí dil dero 
Haigh didil didil dí didil dí
Dí dí didil dí dero 

Béarfaidh mé currach is criú dhuit 
Béarfaidh mé currach is criú dhuit 
Béarfaidh mé currach is criú dhuit 
‘s cuirfidh mé amach ar an gcuan thú (repeat)
Refrain

Ceannóidh mé slat agus d’rú dhuit 
Ceannóidh mé slat agus d’rú dhuit 
Ceannóidh mé slat agus d’rú dhuit 
‘s cuirfidh mé amach ar an gcuan thú (repeat)
Refrain

English Translation - The duck's nest

The duck’s nest in the moat
The duck’s nest in the moat
The duck’s nest in the moat
And I will send you out on the bay 

Refrain
Nonsense syllables

I’ll get you a curragh and crew
I’ll get you a curragh and crew
I’ll get you a curragh and crew
And I’ll send you out on the bay 

I will buy you a rod and line
I will buy you a rod and line
I will buy you a rod and line 
And I will send you out on the bay
