Curfá: 'Sé an truaigh nach mise, nach mise 'Sé an truaigh nach mise bean Pháidín 'Sé an truaigh nach mise, nach mise 'S an bhean atá aige a bheith caillte
Rachainn go Gaillimh, go Gaillimh 'Gus rachainn go Gaillimh le Páidín Rachainn go Gaillimh, go Gaillimh 'S thiocfainn abhaile sa mbád leis
(Curfá)
Rachainn go hAonach na Chlocháin 'S isteach go Béal Átha na Báighe Bhreathnóinn isteach trí na fuinneogaí 'Súil 's go bhfeicfinn bean Pháidín
(Curfá 2x)
Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa Go mbristear do chosa, a bhean Pháidín Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa Go mbristear do chosa 's do chnámha
(Curfá)
Chaith mé mo bhróga, mo bhróga Chaith mé mo bhróga i ndiaidh Pháidín Chaith mé mo bhróga, mo bhróga Chaith mé na boinn is na sála
Chorus: It's a pity that I am not, that I am not It's a pity that I am not Páidín's wife It's a pity that I am not, that I am not And the woman he has is dead
I would go to Galway, to Galway I would go to Galway with Páidín I would go to Galway, to Galway And I would return home with him in the boat
(Chorus)
I would go to the Clifden market And into Béal Áth in the Bay I would look in through the windows Hoping to see Páidín's wife
(Chorus 2x)
May you break your legs, your legs May you break your legs, Páidín's wife May you break your legs, your legs May you break your legs and your bones
(Chorus)
I wore out my shoes, my shoes I wore out my shoes chasing Páidín I wore out my shoes, my shoes I wore out the soles and the heels
