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 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 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 I wore out my shoes, my shoes I wore out my shoes, after Páidín I wore out my shoes, my shoes I wore out the soles and the heels Credits Song: Traditional Irish song Singer: John Beag Ó Flatharta Animation: Courtesy of Trad TG4 Gaelic lyrics and English translation: songsinirish.com | |
