Saint Patrick’s Day is a pretty big holiday in Canada. So, as a good Canadian, I just couldn’t not dress myself in green 🍀 Time to drink and fight… just joking, I’m too small for that ☺️ Time to take some good craft beer, wish luck, listen to Irish Music and slightly misbehave.
Here’s, by the way, a translation of my favorite Irish song Cad É Sin Don Te Sin that resonates with my heart because of its simple philosophy.
I went to the market and traded my cow
for five pounds in money and a gold guinea coin.
If I drank all the money and my gold I did share,
Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care.
If I go to the green woods wild berries to store
plucking apples from bowers or herding the cows.
If I relax in the shade for an hour or more
Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care.
If I go to céilis, to dances or sports
attend markets and races and events of that sort.
If I see people merry and their merriment share
Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care.
People are saying I'm a cad gone astray
without goods or possessions, no cow and no care.
If it's my only desire to live in a craw
Since it's no one's concern, then so no one should care.
