'S é'n trua nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín
It should have been me not her me not her
It should have been me with Pháidín
Rachainn go Gallaí go Gallaí
Is rachainn go Gallaí le Pháidín
I'll go to Galway to Galway
And then I'll come back with dear Pháidín
'S é'n trua nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín
It should have been me not her me not her
It should have been me with Pháidín
Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa
Go mbristear do chosa 'bean Pháidín
May your bones break may your bones break
And may you feel pain wife of Pháidín
