| It's a pity it's not me, it's not me
|
| 'S é'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín
| It's a pity I'm not Paddy's wife
|
| 'S é'n trua nach mise, nach mise
| It's a pity it's not me, it's not me
|
| 'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte
| His wife is lost
|
| Rachainn go Gallaí go Gallaí
| I would go from Gaul to Gaul
|
| Is rachainn go Gallaí le Pháidín
| I would go to Gallaí with Páidín
|
| Rachainn go Gallaí go Gallaí
| I would go from Gaul to Gaul
|
| Is thiocfainn abhaile sa mbád leis
| I would come home in the boat with him
|

| Rachainn go haonach an Chlocháin
| I would go to the Clifden fair
|
| Is siar go Béal Á' na Báighe
| It is west to Béal Á 'na Báighe
|
| Bhreathnóinn isteach tríd an bhfuinneog
| I look in through the window
|
| A' súil is go bhfeicfinn bean Pháidín
| Hoping to see Paddy's wife
|
| 'S é'n trua nach mise, nach mise
| It's a pity it's not me, it's not me
|
| 'S é'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín

|
| Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa
| May your legs be broken, your feet
|
| Go mbristear do chosa 'bean Pháidín
| May your feet be broken '
|
| Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa
| May your legs be broken, your feet
|
| Go mbristear do chosa 's do chnámha
| May your legs and bones be broken
|
| 'S é'n trua nach mise, nach mise
| It's a pity it's not me, it's not me

|
| Chaith mé mo bhróga, mo bhróga
| I wore my shoes, my shoes
|
| Chaith mé mo bhróga i ndiaidh Pháidín
| I wore my shoes after Paddy
|
| Chaith mé mo bhróga, mo bhróga
| I wore my shoes, my shoes
|
| Chaith mé na boinn is na sála | I wore the soles and heels |
