Rudolf an Fia Rua - Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer
Santa's Reindeer

You know Dasher, and Dancer, and Prancer, and Vixen, Comet, and Cupid, and Donner and Blitzen But do you recall the most famous reindeer of all

Rudolf an fia rua,
Bhí loinnir ar a shrón chomh maith,
Agus dá bhfeicfeá ariamh é,
Déarfá linn go raibh sé geal.

Bhíodh na fianna eile,
Ag gáire is ag magadh faoi.
Ní ligeadh siad ariamh do Rudolf,
Páirt a ghlacadh i gcluichí.

Oíche Nollag cheomhar bhán,
Tháinig San Níoclás.
"Rudolf le do shrón gheal ghlé,
An rachaidh tú os comhair mo shlé?"

Bhí grá ag na fianna eile dó,
Is bhéic siad amach os ard,
"Rudolf an fia rua,
Nach ortsa bhéas an clú is cáil."

 Rudolph, the red-nosed reindeer
had a very shiny nose
and if you ever saw it
you would even say it glows.

All of the other reindeer
used to laugh and call him names
They never let poor Rudolph
play in any reindeer games.

Then one foggy Christmas eve
Santa came to say:
"Rudolph with your nose so bright,
won't you guide my sleigh tonight?"

Then all the reindeer loved him
as they shouted out with glee,
Rudolph the red-nosed reindeer,
you'll go down in history!
