Go Home Paddy - Black 47

Mo chreach ghéarchúiseach

Ná rabhas ar do chúlaibh

Nuair lámhadh an púdar

Go ngeobhainn é im chom dheas

Nó i mbinn mo ghúna

Is go léigfinn cead siúil leat

A mharcaigh na súl nglas

Ós tú b’fhearr léigean chucu

(English translation)

My biting bitter loss

I was not at your back

When the powder was fired

So my fine waist could save you

Or the hem of my dress

'til I let you go free

My slate-eyed writer

Well-able for them all

My shrewd prey

Don't be behind your backs

When the powder was fired

May I find it in my right waist

Or in the sweetness of my dress

I would allow you to walk

Who rode the green eyes

Since you prefer to let them go

(English translation)

My biting bitter loss

I was not at your back

When the powder was fired

So my fine waist could save you

Or the hem of my dress

'til I let you go free

My slate-eyed writer

Well-able for them all
