Lyrics:

Curfá: 
Bhfuil do liosta-sa réidh - tá Saintí faoi réir
Is beidh sé ag bailiú na liostaí sin go léir
Bíodh siad curtha sa bpost [CO: “sa phost“] - nó suas an simléar
Ní choinneoidh tada Saintí s'againne óna thuras tríd an spéir

Tá scéilín agam dhaoibh [CO: “daoibh“] - faoin Mol Thuaidh is a dhraíocht
Níl aon ghalar ann - i sneachta ná [CO: “nó“] i ngaoth
Le gach cosaint acub [CO: “acu“] ann - tá chuile dhuine slán Ag réiteach bréagán mar a rinne siad ariamh [CO: “riamh“]

Curfá

Tá Saintí ar an Mol - 's a chairrín réidh le dhul [CO: “le dul“] Níl le déanamh ach é a líonadh lán go béal
Seol do litir ar an toirt - ná bíodh aon imní ort
Tiocfaidh Saintí bíodh ann gála - plá - nó néal

Curfá

Tá Oíche Nollag romhainn 's beidh Saintí socair ciúin
Lena mhála lán le bronntanais do chách
Ní bhíonn tinneas ina shaol - bíonn sé cosanta ón mbaol
Tá dusta draíochtúil caite aige chuile áit

Curfá

Machine Translation:

Chorus:
Your list is ready - Santa is ready
And he will be collecting all those lists
Whether they are in the post - or up the chimney
Nothing will keep our Santa from his journey through the sky

I have a little story for you - about the North Pole and its magic
There is no disease there - in snow or in wind
With all the protection they have there - everyone is safe
Preparing toys like they always did

Chorus

Santa is on the Pole - and his cart is ready to go
All you have to do is fill it to the brim
Send your letter right away - don't worry
Santa will come come gale - plague - or cloud

Chorus

Christmas Eve is upon us and there will be a calm and quiet saint
With a bag full of gifts for everyone
There is no illness in his life - he is protected from danger
He has thrown magic dust everywhere

Chorus
