Back to One Day for Recreation
ONE DAY FOR RECREATION. Irish, Air (2/4 time). A Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AB. The words to the air were composed with lines alternating in English and Irish (i.e. a "macaronic" song), which, according to Sean O Boyle (1976), reflects the bilingual period in the historical process of the supplanting of the Gaelic language by English in Ireland.
One day for recreation
Is gan e/inne beo im chuideachta,
I spied a charming fair maid,
Ina haonar is i/ i siopa istigh.
She was singing like an angel,
Is me/ ag e/isteacht lena binne-ghuth;
I whispered soft and easy -
Is e/ du/irt si/: Stad ded radaireacht!
Curfa/ <Chorus>: Anonn is anall, a Mha/iri/n,
Do mha/lai/ is do bheilteanna;
Is a bhean na stocai/ mba/na,
Ba bhrea/ liom bheith ag iomaidh leat.
