Lyrics: English Translation:
   
A Pheigin mo chara is a Pheigin mo chroi Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart
Ce he an fear fada ud timpeall an ti Who is that tall man __?
O ho o hi ho ha O ho o hi ho ha
O hi ho, a Pheigin mo chroi O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart
   
A Pheadar mo chara is a Pheadar mo chroi Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
Sin e do mhaicin nach bhfaca tu riamh That is your baby whom you never saw
O ho o hi ho ha O ho o hi ho ha
O hi ho, a Pheadar mo chroi O hi ho, oh Peadar, my heart
   
Shuil mise thoir agus shuil mise thiar I walked east and I walked west
Is feasog ar leanbh ni fhaca me riamh But a beard on a baby I have never before seen
O ho o hi ho ha O ho o hi ho ha
O hi ho, a Pheigin mo chroi O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart
   
A Pheadar mo chara is a Pheadar mo chroi Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
Eirigh do sheasamh 'gus reitigh greim bia Rise up now and prepare some food
O ho a Pheadar mo chroi Oh ho Peadar, my heart
A Pheigin mo chara is a Pheigin mo chroi Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart
Nil ins an teach ach aon greim mine bui I have not a grain of yellow meal in the house
O ho o hi ho ha O ho o hi ho ha
O hi ho, a Pheigin mo chroi O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart
   
A Pheadar mo chara is a Pheadar mo chroi Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
In iochtar mo mhala ta caca mine bui In the bottom of my bag there is a yellow meal cake
O ho a Pheadar mo chroi Oh ho Peadar, my heart
A Pheigin mo chara is a Pheigin mo chroi Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart
Ta an caca seo ro fada nil in aon chaoi bui This cake you have is full of golden guineas
O ho o hi ho ha O ho o hi ho ha
O hi ho, a Pheigin mo chroi O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart
   
'S a Pheadar mo chara, suifimis sios Peadar, my friend, we will sit down
Na fagfas an baile chomh 's mhairfeas me riamh I'll never leave home again for as long as I live
O ho a Pheadar mo chroi Oh ho Peadar, my heart
A Pheigin mo chara is a Pheigin mo chroi Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart
Ce he an fear fada timpeall an ti Who is that tall man __?
   
O ho o hi ho ha O ho o hi ho ha
O hi ho, a Pheigin O hi ho, oh Peigin
O ho o hi ho ha O ho o hi ho ha
O hi ho, a Pheigin O hi ho, oh Peigin
O ho o hi ho ha O ho o hi ho ha
O hi ho, a ghra geal mo chroi O hi ho, oh bright love of my heart
