Si Do Mhaimeo I Text

---

'Si do mhaimeo i, 'si do mhaimeo i
'Si do mhaimeo i cailleach an airgid
'Si do mhaimeo i o Bhail' Iorrais Mhoir i
'S chuir-feadh si coisti 'r bhoithre Chois Fharraige

'bhFeicfe?sa 'n "steam" 'ga'l siar Toin Ui Loing'
'S na rothai gh'l timpeall siar ona ceathrunai
Caithfeadh si'nstiuir naoi n-uair'ar a cul
'S ni choinneodh si siul le cailleach an airgid

[Chorus]

'Measann tu 'bposfa, 'measann tu 'bposfa
'Measann tu 'bposfa cailleach an airgid?
T? 's a'm nach 'bposfa, t? 's a'm nach 'bposfa
Mar t? s? ro-og 'gus dolfadh s?'n t-airgead

[Chorus]

'S gairid go 'bposfa, 's gairid go 'bposfa
'S gairid go 'bposfa beirt ar an mbaile seo
'S gairid go 'bposfa, 's gairid go 'bposfa
S?an Sh?amais Mhoir agus M?ire Ni Chathasaigh
[Repeat]

[Chorus twice]

[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 S?an S?amais Mor and M?ire Ni Chathasaigh
[Repeat]
