Lyrics:

Curfá:
Aililiú, liú, liú, liú, liú, liú
Aililiú, táim sásta
Tá an diabhal ina chodladh is na haingil linn
Is muid uile ar stad na ngrásta

Bhabh-bhabh-bhabh! a deir madraí an bhaile
Beidh fleá againn is pléaráca
Tá liamhás sa bpota, turcaí san oigheann
Beidh feoil againn ar chnámha

Curfá

Mí-amh-ú! a deir cait an bhaile
is iad i mbun crónána
Tá bradán deataithe acu ar bord
Is beidh a chraiceann againn amárach

Curfá

Í-í-í! a deir lucha an bhaile
Beidh císte á ithe ag leanaí
Titfidh dhá trian de síos go talamh
Is íosfaimid ár sáith de

Curfá

Ársa Deaide Na Nollag: Fó-fá-fum!
Cá bhfuil mo bhuachaill dána?
Tabharfaidh mé faire dó anocht
Is beidh sé go maith amárach

Machine Translation:

Chorus:
Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah
Hallelujah, I am happy
The devil is asleep and the angels are with us
We are all in the station of grace

Bow-ow-bow-ow! say the dogs of the town
We will have a feast and a feast
There is ham in the pot, a turkey in the oven
We will have meat on the bones

Chorus

Me-ow-u! say the cats of the town
They are in the process of making a toast
They have smoked salmon on board
And we will have its skin tomorrow

Chorus

Ee-ee-ee! say the mice of the town
The children will be eating cake
Two-thirds of it will fall to the ground
And we will eat our fill of it

Chorus

Old Santa Claus: Fo-fa-fum!
Where is my naughty boy?
I will watch over him tonight
And he will be fine tomorrow
