Nil Se'n La-The Fiddler Woman's Dance-Irish Ballad

This song, Nil Se'n La, means "Dance With Me 'Til The Morning." It is traditionally called The Fiddler Woman's Dance in Ireland and has been in existence since The American Revolutionary War Days. From the album, Celtic Woman: Songs From The Heart; I dedicate this ballad to all my friends on Deviant Art for your kindness and help with my personal hardships. I will now make you all laugh and want to dance 'til Dawn. ~Nee


Chuaigh me isteach i dteach areir.
Is d'iarr me cairde ar mhnaoi an leanna.
Is e duirt si liom "Ni bhfaighidh" tu deor.
Buail an bothar is gabh abhaile.

I came by the house last night and told the woman I am stayin'.
I said to her the moon is bright and me fiddle's tuned for playin'.
Tell me that the night is young!
Tell me that the moon is glowin'.
Fill me glass, I'll sing a song,
And we'll start the music flowin'.
Never mind the risin' light!
There's no sign of day nor Dawnin'.
In me heart, 'tis still the night!
And we'll stay 'ere 'til the mornin'.

~

Nil Se ina la, nil a ghra,
Nil Se ina la is ni bheidh go maidin
Nil Se ina la is ni bheidh go foill,
Solas ard ata sa ghealaigh.

~

'Tis not day nor yet awhile!
I can see the starlight shinin'.
Nil Se ina la is ni bheidh go foill.
Solas ard ata sa ghealaigh.

~

Fill the glasses one more time and ne'er heed the empty bottle,
Turn the water into wine and turn the party up full throttle!

~

Don't go out into the cold where the wind and rain are blowin'.
For the fire's flamin' gold,
And in 'ere the music's flowin'.
Tell me that the night is young!
Tell me that the moon is gleamin'.
So fill me glass, I'll sing a song,
And we'll keep the music streamin' until all the songs are sung!

As O! Nil Se'n La!
