Bean Pháidín / Páidín's Wife

Curfá (tar éis gach bhéarsa):
S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise,
'S é'n trua ghéar nach mise bean Pháidín
S é'n trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise,
Is an bhean atá aige bheith caillte.

'S Rachainn go Gaillimh, go Gaillimh,
'Gus rachainn go Gaillimh le Páidín,
Ó, rachainn go Gaillimh, go Gaillimh,
Is thiocfainn abhaile sa mbád leis.

Is chuaigh mise siar Tóin an Róisín,
Is tháinig mé aniar Barr an tSáilín,
Bhreathnaigh mé isteach ag na fuinneogaí
A' féachaint go bhfeicfinn bean Pháidín

Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa,
Go mbristear do chosa 'bhean Pháidín,
Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa,
Go mbristear do chosa 's do lámha.

Chaith mé mo bhróga, mo bhróga,
Chaith mé mo bhróga 'dtigh Pháidín
Chaith mé mo bhróga, mo bhróga,
Chaith mé na boinn 's na sála.

Translation:

Chorus (after each verse):
It's a great pity that I'm not, that I'm not,
It's a great pity that I'm not Páidín’s wife.
It's a great pity that I'm not, that I'm not,
And that the woman he has is not dead.

I would go to Galway, to Galway,
I would go to Galway with Páidín.
I would go to Galway, to Galway,
And I would return in the boat with him.

O, I went over Tóin an Roisín,
And I came back over by Barr an tSáilín.
O, I looked in through the windows,
To see if I could get a look at Páidín’s wife.

May your legs be broken, be broken,
May your legs be broken, Páidín’s wife.
O May your legs be broken, be broken,
May your legs and your arms be broken.

O, I wore out my shoes, my shoes,
O, I wore out my shoes in Páidín’s.
O, I wore out my shoes, my shoes,
I wore out the soles and the heels.
