Here's a quick version!

PEIGÍN LEITIR MÓIR

CURFÁ/CHORUS: O gairim, gairim, í
Agus gairim í mo stór
Míle grá le m'anam í
Sí Peigín Leitir Móir

1. Éirigh suas a Pheigín
Agus seas ar bharr an aird
Comhair do chuid bullán
Agus féach a' bhuil siad ann

2. Tá Bríd agam 's tá Cáit agam
Sí Peig an bhean is fearr
Pe'r bith fear a gheo bhas í
Nach air a bheas an t-ádh

3. Chuir me scéala siaaar chuici
Go gceannóinn di bád mor
'S é 'n scéala 'chuir si aniar chugam
Go ndéanfadh leathbhad seoil

4. Tá iascairi na Gaillimhe
Ag teaach anoir le coir
Le solas gealaai gile
Nó go bhfeicidis and tseoid

CURFÁ DEIRIDH/LAST CHORUS: 'S ó, gairim í
'Gus gairim í mo stor
Míle grá le m'anam í
Is gearr go mbeaidh sí mór

p.s. are there TWO Carls looking for this?

Regards
(From me AND Josephine!)

Yes, the Dubliners do it in Irish. I have it on tape and would love to have a translation, if you have one. Alas, I do not speak a word of Irish, though I am an avid collector of Irish folk music.

I can get this in Irish but have no idea if that was how the Dubliners did it.
