|
A Pheigín na gcarad 's a Pheigín mo chroí
|
Peigín, my friend, and Peigín, my heart
|
|
Cé hé an fear fada údan sínte leat síos?
|
Who is that tall man stretched alongside you?

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Ó a hó, ó a hó
|
Oh a ho, oh a ho
|
|
Ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí
|
Oh a ho, my love, oh love of my heart
|
|
|
|
|
A Pheadair na gcarad 's a Pheadair mo chroí
|
Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
|
|
Sin é do leanbh nach bhfaca tú riamh
|
That is your baby whom you never saw
|
|
|
|
|
Ó shiúil mise thoir agus shiúil mise thiar
|
Oh I walked east and I walked west
|
|
Ach féasóg ar leanbh ní fhaca mé riamh
|
But a beard on a baby I have never before seen
|
|
|
|
|
A Pheigín na gcarad 's a Pheigín mo chroí
|
Peigín, my friend, and Peigín, my heart
|
|
Éirigh i do sheasamh 'gus réitigh greim bídh
|
Rise up now and prepare some food
|
|
|
|
|
A Pheadair na gcarad 's a Pheadair mo chroí
|
Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
|
|
Níl ins an teach agam greim mine buí
|
I have not a grain of yellow meal in the house
|
|
|
|
|
A Pheigín na gcarad 's a Pheigín mo chroí
|
Peigín, my friend, and Peigín, my heart
|
|
In íochtar mo mhála tá cáca mine buí
|
In the bottom of my bag there is a yellow meal cake
|
|
|
|
|
'S a Pheigín 's a mhaicín suífidh muid síos
|
Peigín and my son, we will sit down
|
|
Ní fhágfad an baile chúns mhairfeas mé arís
|
I'll never leave home again for as long as I live
|
