Drinking Song
Orthodox Celts Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

The clock started noon, I jumped out of bed,
I drank a cup of coffee and I walked out to the street,
It was boring sunny day, I was lookin' for some fun,
I tried to find someone so I walked into a pub

There was Lucky playin' banjo, on accordion was Jake,
We drank some beer and whiskey and pint of good old Celtic gin,
It was derby on TV, on Parkhead were a crowd,
We started watchin' game with hope that our Celts will win

We are drinkin' beer,
We are drinkin' gin,
No matter what's in bottle,
We are drinkin' everything

Then we took a short walk through the dirty streets,
And came back to the pub, for the game of darts,
Celtic beat the rangers, all the people sang & cheered,
We broke some bloody glasses, we were little bit of weird

That was ordinarily day in our smelly town,
We felt the smell of petrol and the dust between the toes,




Our eyes were chilly sparkled like a jewels in the crown,
Our hearts are always fill, doesn't matter where we go.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "Drinking Song" by Orthodox Celts tell the story of a typical day in the life of a group of friends who spend their time drinking and hanging out in a pub, waiting for their beloved Celtic football team to win. The singer starts his day by leaving his boring life behind and heading to the pub, where he meets his friends Lucky and Jake. They drink beer, whiskey, and gin and watch the derby game on TV, cheering for their team. When Celtic wins, they celebrate by playing darts and breaking glasses, immersed in their sense of community and belonging.


The song captures the essence of the drinking culture in Ireland, where socializing over a pint of beer or whiskey is an important part of everyday life. The lyrics express a sense of camaraderie and shared identity among the group of friends, who find comfort and joy in each other's company despite the challenges of their surroundings. The reference to the smell of petrol and the dust between the toes suggests that they live in a gritty, industrial town, but their spirits remain unbroken.

The two best toasts of my grandpa:
1.) We´ll never meet at this young age again!
2.) (after the first drink) You can´t stand on only one leg!
