A Pheigín na gcarad 's a Pheigín mo chroí Cé hé an fear fada údan sínte leat síos?
Curfá: 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 riamh Ó 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 bídh A 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
Peigín, my friend, and Peigín, my heart Who is that tall man stretched alongside you?
Chorus (after each verse): Oh a ho, oh a ho Oh a ho, my love, oh love of my heart
Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart That is your baby whom you never saw Oh I walked east and I walked west But a beard on a baby I have never before seen
Peigín, my friend, and Peigín, my heart Rise up now and prepare some food Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart I have not a grain of yellow meal in the house
Peigín, my friend, and Peigín, my heart In the bottom of my bag there is a yellow meal cake
Peigín and my son, we will sit down I'll never leave home again for as long as I live
