Bean Pháidín lyrics

[Curfá:]

'S é'n trua nach mise, nach mise

'S é'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín

'S é'n trua nach mise, nach mise

'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte

Rachainn go Gallaí' go Gallaí'

Is rachainn go Gallaí' le Pháidín

Rachainn go Gallaí' go Gallaí'

Is thiocfainn abhaile sa mbád leis

[Curfá]

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

[Curfá]

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 gáirdín

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

Rachainn go haonach an Chlocháin

Is siar go Béal Á' na Báighe

Bhreathnóinn isteach tríd an bhfuinneog

A' súil is go bhfeicfinn bean Pháidín

[Curfá]

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

[Curfá]

Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa

Go mbristear do chosa 'bean Pháidín

Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa

Go mbristear do chosa 's do chnámha.
