Is é an trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise
Is é an trua ghéar nach mise bean Pháidín.
Is é an trua ghéar nach mise, nach mise,
Is an bhean atá aige bheith caillte.
Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa
Go mbristear do chosa, a bhean Pháidín
Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa
Go mbristear do chosa is do chnámha.
Is fearr rith maith ná drochsheasamh.
Drochubh, drochéan.

It's a great pity that I'm not, I'm not
It's a great pity that I'm not Páidín's wife.
It's a great pity I'm not, I'm not –
and that his wife isn't dead!
May you break your legs, your legs,
May you break your legs, wife of Páidín.
May you break your legs, your legs,
May you break your legs and your bones.
A good run is better than a bad stand.
