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 Mor
|
And she would put coaches on the roads of Cois Farraige
|
|
If you'd see the steam boat going past Toin Ui 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 Sean Seamais Mor and Maire Ni Chathasaigh
|
(Repeat)
|
|
(Chorus twice)
