The title means "Paidi´s (Paddy´s) wife" (or woman). I´ll never forget how I got to understand the title. One time in the 70´s down in Tralee I was in Paidi Murphy´s house, and I had bought a Planxty record and played it to them. When this tune came on, Paidi´s wife said: "Oh, that´s me, Bean Phaidin!" So I learned a bit of Irish then.

The lyrics of this version are a bit different to any you'll find online. Here's my best attempt at transcribing them 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'Sé 'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'S an bhean atá aige a bheith caillte Chuaigh mise siar chun na chlocháin 'Tá timpeall de Béal Áth' na Báighe 'Gus bhreathnaigh mé isteach tríd na fuinneoige A féachaint a feicfinn bean Pháidín 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'Sé 'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'S an bhean atá aige a bheith caillte 'Gus chuaigh mise siar Túin an Rúisín Is tháinig mé aniar Bóthair an tSaithnín Isteach Tí Mhaitais Uí Chaithaisaigh Féachaint go bhfeicfinn bean Pháidín 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'Sé 'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'S an bhean atá aige a bheith caillte Rachainn go Gaillimh, go Gaillimh Is rachainn go Gaillimh le Pháidín Ó rachainn go Gaillimh, go Gaillimh Is tiocfaidh abhaile san mbád leis 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'Sé 'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'S an bhean atá aige a bheith caillte 'S 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 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'Sé 'n trua nach mise bean Pháidín 'Sé 'n trua nach mise, nach mise 'S an bhean atá aige a bheith caillte Grammar is not perfect but that is how this version is sung

Its the traditional Irish song, akin to "Bobby's Girl" from the '60s. It's a great pity that I'm not, that I'm not It's a great pity that I'm not Páidín's wife It's a great pity that I'm not, that I'm not And the woman that he has to be dead I would go to Galway, to Galway And I would go to Galway with Páidín I would go to Galway, to Galway And I would return in the boat with him 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

The song is from Connemara, Co Galway. The woman wishes she was 'the woman of Páidín' and she curses the woman who has taken his fancy, while saying how much she'd go through to have him herself: the curse is interesting, involving the breaking of the rival's bones!

Hello all.. I'm looking for the second verse that Donal sings here. In other printed lyrics I've found, I can identify the first, third, and fourth verses, but not the second. It doesn't sound like the verse about her shoes, but I can't be sure. I'm working on the language, but am in infancy in that effort. Does anyone know the words and translation for the second verse Donal sings? thanks!
