^ No, I meant if the kid doesn’t come back down till tomorrow (when you’ve thrown him sufficiently high up into the air), then you’d be rid of the crying till then.

Say the child today. She started looking at me and even managed a smile. No crying so no singing, I'm afraid...

Will you translate some of this so I know the gist of it?

You’ll find a more or less accurate translation here.

Did you see that there are other versions of this song on Celtic Corner? Throwing babies up in the air must have been a traditional activity.
Dance the Baby by Cathy Ryan (CD The Farthest Wave) where she's strung three songs together and Geantraí by Anúna (CD Omnis) where you find this -

Caithfimid suas is suas
Caithfimid suas go heasc í
Caithfimid suas is suas
I seacain a chroí na pleasc í

agus

Caithfimid suas is suas
Is tiocfaidh sí anuas amárach. (childminding they call it)

How old is dTigeas a' Damhsa? Was it around in the early 1900s?
