Lyrics: English Translation:
   
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 __?
   
Curfá: Chorus::
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
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
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
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
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
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
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
   
(Curfá) (Chorus)
   
'S a Pheadar mo chara, suifimid 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 Pheigín 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 Pheiin 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 Pheadar mo chroi O hi ho, oh Peadar, my heart
