|
|
A Pheigin mo chara is a Pheigin mo chroi |
Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart |
|
Ce he an fear fada ud timpeall an ti |
Who is that tall man __? |
|
O ho o hi ho ha |
O ho o hi ho ha |
|
O hi ho, a Pheigin mo chroi |
O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart |
| |
|
|
A Pheadar mo chara is a Pheadar mo chroi |
Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart |
|
Sin e do mhaicin nach bhfaca tu riamh |
That is your baby whom you never saw |
|
O ho o hi ho ha |
O ho o hi ho ha |
|
O hi ho, a Pheadar mo chroi |
O hi ho, oh Peadar, my heart |
| |
|
|
Shuil mise thoir agus shuil mise thiar |
I walked east and I walked west |
|
Is feasog ar leanbh ni fhaca me riamh |
But a beard on a baby I have never before seen |
|
O ho o hi ho ha |
O ho o hi ho ha |
|
O hi ho, a Pheigin mo chroi |
O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart |
| |
|
|
A Pheadar mo chara is a Pheadar mo chroi |
Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart |
|
Eirigh do sheasamh 'gus reitigh greim bia |
Rise up now and prepare some food |
|
O ho a Pheadar mo chroi |
Oh ho Peadar, my heart |
|
A Pheigin mo chara is a Pheigin mo chroi |
Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart |
|
Nil ins an teach ach aon greim mine bui |
I have not a grain of yellow meal in the house |
|
O ho o hi ho ha |
O ho o hi ho ha |
|
O hi ho, a Pheigin mo chroi |
O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart |
| |
|
|
A Pheadar mo chara is a Pheadar mo chroi |
Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart |
|
In iochtar mo mhala ta caca mine bui |
In the bottom of my bag there is a yellow meal cake |
|
O ho a Pheadar mo chroi |
Oh ho Peadar, my heart |
|
A Pheigin mo chara is a Pheigin mo chroi |
Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart |
|
Ta an caca seo ro fada nil in aon chaoi bui |
This cake you have is full of golden guineas |
|
O ho o hi ho ha |
O ho o hi ho ha |
|
O hi ho, a Pheigin mo chroi |
O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart |
| |
|
|
'S a Pheadar mo chara, suifimis sios |
Peadar, my friend, we will sit down |
|
Na fagfas an baile chomh 's mhairfeas me riamh |
I'll never leave home again for as long as I live |
|
O ho a Pheadar mo chroi |
Oh ho Peadar, my heart |
|
A Pheigin mo chara is a Pheigin mo chroi |
Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart |
|
Ce he an fear fada timpeall an ti |
Who is that tall man __? |
| |
|
|
O ho o hi ho ha |
O ho o hi ho ha |
|
O hi ho, a Pheigin |
O hi ho, oh Peigin |
|
O ho o hi ho ha |
O ho o hi ho ha |
|
O hi ho, a Pheigin |
O hi ho, oh Peigin |
|
O ho o hi ho ha |
O ho o hi ho ha |
|
O hi ho, a ghra geal mo chroi |
O hi ho, oh bright love of my heart |
