Bean Pháidín [English translation]

[Chorus:]

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 the woman that he has to be dead

I would go to Galway, to Galway

And I would go to Galway with Páidín

I would go to Galway, to Galway

And I would return in the boat with him

[Chorus]

Oh, I go to Galway, to Galway,

Oh, I go to Galway with Páidín

Oh, we go to Galway together

And sail away home in a báidín

[Chorus]

I look through the window, the window

I look through the window for Páidín

His wife is just sitting there, knitting

While I'm stuck outside in the garden

I wish I was wedded, was wed,

I wish I was wedded to Páidín

He's chosen to marry another

And that is the cause of my raging

I would go to an Clochán

And west by Béal Á' na Báighe

I would look in through the windows

I would spot Páidín's wife

[Chorus]

I wish he were taken, were taken

The beautiful wife of my Páidín

He'd not be forsaken, forsaken

I'd still take my place there beside him

[Chorus]

May your legs be broken, be broken

May your legs be broken, Páidín's wife

May your legs be broken, be broken

May your legs and your bones be broken.
