Translation of the song lyrics Go Home Paddy - Black 47

Go Home Paddy (original)

Mo chreach ghéarchúiseach
Ná rabhas ar do chúlaibh
Nuair lámhadh an púdar
Go ngeobhainn é im chom dheas
Nó i mbinn mo ghúna
Is go léigfinn cead siúil leat
A mharcaigh na súl nglas
Ós tú b’fhearr léigean chucu
(English translation)
My biting bitter loss
I was not at your back
When the powder was fired
So my fine waist could save you
Or the hem of my dress
'til I let you go free
My slate-eyed writer
Well-able for them all

Go Home Paddy (translation)

My shrewd prey
Don't be behind your backs
When the powder was fired
May I find it in my right waist
Or in the sweetness of my dress
I would allow you to walk
Who rode the green eyes
Since you prefer to let them go
(English translation)
My biting bitter loss
I was not at your back
When the powder was fired
So my fine waist could save you
Or the hem of my dress
'til I let you go free
My slate-eyed writer
Well-able for them all
