Black 47 - Go Home Paddy lyrics

(Irish lyrics)

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.
