Si Do Mhaimeo I Lyrics & Video

[Chorus:]

'bhFeicfesa 'n "steam" 'ga'l siar Tin U Loing'

'S na rotha gh'l timpeall siar na ceathrna

Caithfeadh s'nstiir naoi n-uair'ar a cl

[Chorus]

'Measann t 'bpsfa, 'measann t 'bpsfa

'Measann t 'bpsfa cailleach an airgid?

Mar t s r-g 'gus dlfadh s'n t-airgead

[Chorus]

'S gairid go 'bpsfa, 's gairid go 'bpsfa

'S gairid go 'bpsfa, 's gairid go 'bpsfa

[English Translation:]

[Chorus:]

She's your granny, she's your granny

She's your granny, the hag with the money

She's your granny from the town of Iorrais Mr

And she would put coaches on the roads of Cois Farraige

If you'd see the steam boat going past Tin U Loing'

And the wheels turning speedily at her flanks

She'd scatter the store nine times to the rear

But she never keeps pace with the hag with the money

[Chorus]

Do you reckon he'd marry, do you reckon he'd marry

Do you reckon he'd marry the hag with the money?

I know he'll not marry, I know he'll not marry

Because he's too young and he'll drink the money

[Chorus]

We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding

We'll soon have a wedding by two in the village

We'll soon have a wedding, we'll soon have a wedding

Between San Samais Mr and Mire N Chathasaigh

[Repeat]

[Chorus twice]
