Irish transcreation by Gabriel Rosenstock
THEY HUNG HIM ON A CROSS (AND HE NEVER SAID A MUMBLING WORD)

They hung him on a cross, they hung him on a cross
They hung him on a cross for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
They hung him on a cross for me

They whupped him up the hill, they whupped him up the hill
They whupped him up the hill for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
They whupped him up the hill for me

They speared him in the side, they speared him in the side
They speared him in the side for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
They speared him in the side for me

He never said a mumbling word, he never said a mumbling word
He never said a mumbling word for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
He never said a mumbling word for me

He's comin' back again, he's comin' back again
He's comin' back again for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
He's comin' back again for me

He's comin' back again, he's comin' back again
He's comin' back again for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
He's comin' back again for me

He hung his head and died, he hung his head and died
He hung his head and died for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
He hung his head and died for me

He never said a mumbling word, he never said a mumbling word
He never said a mumbling word for me
One day when I was lost, they hung him on the cross
He never said a mumbling word for me
MO THIARNA CÉASTA TÁ

Mo Thiarna céasta tá
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Mo Thiarna céasta tá
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith

Cheanglaíodar é de chrann
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Cheanglaíodar é de chrann
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith

Do tholl siad a thaobh geal
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Do tholl siad a thaobh geal
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith

An fhuil ag sileadh síos
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
An fhuil ag sileadh síos
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith

Do chrom a cheann is d’éag
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Do chrom a cheann is d’éag
Is níor tháinig oiread is cnead uaidh
Siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith, siolla ar bith
