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:
