performed by Oisin Mac Diarmada of teada on their album teada
A Pheigín na gcarad 's a Pheigín mo chroí
Cé hé an fear fada údan sínte leat síos?Chorus (after each verse):
Ó a hó, ó a hó
Ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí
A Pheadair na gcarad 's a Pheadair mo chroí
Sin é do leanbh nach bhfaca tú riamhÓ shiúil mise thoir agus shiúil mise
thiar
Ach féasóg ar leanbh ní fhaca mé riamh
A Pheigín na gcarad 's a Pheigín mo chroí
Éirigh i do sheasamh 'gus réitigh greim bídhA Pheadair na gcarad 's a
Pheadair mo chroí
Níl ins an teach agam greim mine buí
A Pheigín na gcarad 's a Pheigín mo chroí
In íochtar mo mhála tá cáca mine buí'S a Pheigín 's a mhaicín suífidh
muid síos
Ní fhágfad an baile chúns mhairfeas mé arís
Translation:
Peigín, my friend, and Peigín, my heartWho is that tall man stretched
alongside you?
Oh a ho, oh a hoOh a ho, my love, oh love of my heartPeadar, my friend, and
Peadar, my heartThat is your baby whom you never saw
Oh I walked east and I walked westBut a beard on a baby I have never before
seen
Peigín, my friend, and Peigín, my heartRise up now and prepare some food
Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heartI have not a grain of yellow meal in
the house
Peigín, my friend, and Peigín, my heartIn the bottom of my bag there is a
yellow meal cake
Peigín and my son, we
will sit downI'll never leave home again for as long as I live
