Simple translation of verse ‘Santa Claus is coming to town’

[skii33]

Bhuel.

Trying to translate this verse if anyone can help. Trying to keep it simple

He sees you when your sleeping ( Bíonn sé ag féachaint ortsa)
He knows when your awake ( Ag éisteacht leat gach lá)
He knows when you’ve been bad or good. ( Tá a fhios aige nuair a bhí tú dána nó…
So be good for goodness safe ( Bí an mhaith…….. )

Go raibh maith agaibh
x

[Lughaidh]

(In Donegal Irish:)

Santa Claus is coming to town = Tá Deaidí na Nollag ag teacht chun na cathrach
He sees you when your sleeping = Tchí sé thú nuair a bíos tú in do chodladh
He knows when your awake = Bíonn a fhios aige nuair a bíos tú in do shuí
He knows when you’ve been bad or good. = Bíonn a fhios aige nuair a bhí tú dalba nó maith
So be good for goodness safe = Mar sin, bí maith ar son na maitheasa (?)

seo ceann atá againn sa rang – téann Sé leis an ceol go maith
Tá na véarsaí eile ann freisin

Bíonn sé ag féachaint ortsa,
Ag éisteacht leat gach lá,
Is muna mbíonn tú dána,
Beidh gach aon rud go breá.

níl fhios agam cé d’aistrigh é

Ceist eile.

Muna mbíonn tú dána ( If you havn’t been bold? )

Just not too sure of this line?

[Lughaidh]

Muna mbíonn tú dána ( If you havn’t been bold? )

muna mbìonn tù = if you won’t be, or if you aren’t (in general, usually)

if you haven’t = muna raibh tù
