Ba Mhaith Liom Bruíon le d’Athair
I Wanna Fight Your Fatheras Gaeilge by The Rubberbandits. The English lyrics are the original and are not a word-for-word translation of the Irish version. For example, the lines “I float just like a butterfly,I sting just like a bee” in Irish translatate to “I’m as strong as Cú Chulainn, as agile as Finn McCool”!
The Rubberbandits are a comedy hip-hop duo from Limerick, Republic of Ireland. They were formed by Blindboy Boatclub (real name Dave Chambers) and Mr Chrome (sometimes Bobby Chrome; real name Bob McGlynn). On stage and in interviews, they conceal their identities with masks made from plastic shopping bags. “I Wanna Fight Your Father” was released on 25 February 2011. A video for the song was released on 24 February 2011. The duo also released a video for the Irish language version of the song, “Ba Mhaith Liom Bruíon le d’Athair”, which received almost a million views. The Irish-language version samples the riff from the Minnie Riperton song “Inside My Love”.

Níl sárú ar d’áilleacht
Is tú mo mhíle grá
Is caillfear mé gan phóg uait
A stór, tabhair dom mó lámh
Ach ní maith le d’athair mise
A ghráin ar mo leithéid
Raghaimid i mbun troda
Chun go mbeifeá I mo bhé
Róisín, ba mhaith liom bruíon le d’athair
Róisín, ba mhaith liom bruíon le d’athair
Táim i’m mháistir I gKarate
Is saineolaí i gKung Fu
Crústálfaidh mé an cac as
Chun a mheoin a athrú
Mar do stumpa asail d’athair
Is réiteach atá uaidh
Ach do stumpa asail d’athair
Ní hé atá chomh cruaidh
Taím chomh láidir le Cú Chulainn
Is chomh haclaí le Fionn mac Cumhaill
Níl leaid eile in Éirinn
A shásódh do dhúil
Róisín, ba mhaith liom bruíon le d’athair
Róisín, ba mhaith liom bruíon le d’athair
An dtuigeann sé go ndéanfainn aon rud
Chun mo ghrá dhuit a chruthú
Gur ghoid mé ceithre roth a chairr uaidh
Chun íoc as do thatú
Dúirt sé go bhfuil a fhios aige
Go mbeidh do chroí briste
Ach dá mbeadh dhá shúil dhubh aige
Hí hé a bheadh cliste
Déanfaidh mise smidiríní
beaga as a cheann
Scaoilfid a phutóga
as a bholg le mo lann
Róisín, ba mhaith liom bruíon le d’athair
Róisín, ba mhaith liom bruíon le d’athair

Oh baby you're so beautiful
I wanna be your man
I wanna kiss you lot of times
And hold your fuckin' hand
But your father doesn't like me
Your father don't approve
We'll ask him if he'll fight me
Cause I'm in love with you
Roxanne, I wanna fight you father!
Roxanne, I wanna fight you father!
(Uh) Cause I'm a black belt in karate
And a master of Kung-Fu
And I'll kick his fuckin' teeth in
Just to prove my love for you
Cause your big fat fuckin' father
He said he wants it all resolved
Your big fat fuckin father
He shouldn't got himself involved
Cause I float just like a butterfly
I sting just like a bee
Baby you won't find another guy
That loves you more than me
Roxanne, I wanna fight you father!
Roxanne, I wanna fight you father!
Do he know how much I love you
Do he know the things I'd do (uh)
And do he know I sold his hub caps (yea yeah)
Just to pay for your tattoo?
Well your daddy said he'd suss me out
He says I'll break your heart
But if your daddy had a busted mouth
He wouldn't be so smart
Now you can bet your life
I'm gonna to put him in his place
I wanna take a Stanley knife
And open up his face
Roxanne, I wanna fight you father!
Roxanne, I wanna fight you father!
