    I have no trouble finding the Irish lyrics, but I haven't the first clue how to pronounce ... well, pretty much anything Irish.

    Anyone know someplace I can out how to pronounce the Irish part of the song?

    Daidí na Nollag
    (Father Christmas)
    Bunliricí le James Pierpoint. Cantar don fhonn "Jingle Bells."
    (Lyrics by James Pierpoint. Sung to the tune of "Jingle Bells.")

    Bualadh bos, bualadh bos,
    buailfimís go léir,
    Tá Daidí na Nollag ag teacht anocht,
    Anuas an similéar.
    ó, bualadh bos, bualadh bos,
    Buailfimís go léir,
    Tá Daidí na Nollag ag teacht anocht
    Anuas an similéar.

    Tá'n Nollaig buailte linn,
    Tá áthas ins an aer,
    Tá sneachta ar an dtalamh,
    Tá réaltaí ins an spéir.
    Táimid ag dul a chodladh
    Is tá ár stocaí réidh.
    Tá Daidí na Nollag ag teacht anocht
    Anuas an similéar.

    [Curfá]

    A Dhaidí, brostaigh ort,
    Is cuir do mhála síos.
    Líon suas an stoca beag
    le feiríní arís,
    Is mithid duit imeacht
    suas an simléar.
    Tá páistí beaga ag feitheamh ort
    i ngach aon áit faoin speir.



    Translation:
    Clap your hands, clap your hands,
    Clap hands everyone (all of us),
    Father Christmas is coming tonight
    Down the chimney. .
    Clap your hands, clap your hands
    Clap hands everyone (all of us),
    Father Christmas is coming tonight
    Down the chimney.

    Christmas is coming near us,
    Joy is in the air,
    Snow is on the ground,
    Stars are in the sky,
    We are going to sleep,
    Our stockings are ready,
    Father Christmas is coming tonight,
    Down the chimney.

    Clap your hands, clap your hands,
    Clap hands everyone (all of us),
    Father Christmas is coming tonight
    Clap your hands, clap your hands,
    Clap hands everyone (all of us),
    Father Christmas is coming tonight.

    [Chorus]

    G'wan the Moonbeam, you big Irish speaker you!

    I'm surprised how much of the lyrics I could understand without the translation, I thought it would be nothing. :pac:
