'S é'n trua nach mise, nach mise
'S é'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín
'S é'n trua nach mise, nach mise
'S an bhean atá aige bheith caillte

Rachainn go Gallaí' go Gallaí'
Is rachainn go Gallaí' le Pháidín
Rachainn go Gallaí' go Gallaí'
Is thiocfainn abhaile sa mbád leis

Oh, I go to Galway, to Galway
Oh, I go to Galway with Páidín
Oh, we go to Galway together
And sail away home in a báidín

I look through the window, the window
I look through the window for Páidín
His wife is just sitting there, knitting
While I'm stuck outside in the gáirdín

I wish I was wedded, was wed
I wish I was wedded to Páidín
He's chosen to marry another
And that is the cause of my raging

Rachainn go haonach an Chlocháin
Is siar go Béal Á' na Báighe
Bhreathnóinn isteach tríd an bhfuinneog
A' súil is go bhfeicfinn bean Pháidín

I wish he were taken, were taken
The beautiful wife of my Páidín
He'd not be forsaken, forsaken
I'd still take my place there beside him

Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa
Go mbristear do chosa 'bean Pháidín
Go mbristear do chosa, do chosa
Go mbristear do chosa 's do chnámha
