My apologies for not being clear. The version which you posted is the version with which I am familiar. I was not aware that there was an English translation in common use.

As you've guess, I'm American, an American of Irish descent. One of my more re-inforced memories of New Year's Eve was of the big band celebrations, the countdown to the New Year followed by the singing of the first two verses (by a trained singer. Now, they just play the music and the crowd supplies the words, mumbling so that no one is sure exactly what it is that they are singing!).
