Is a Pheigín na gcarad ’s a Phéigín mo chroí,
Ó, cé hé an fear fada sin sínte leat síos?
Ó a hó a, hó a óa, ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí.

A Pheadair na gcarad is a Pheadair mo chroí,
Sin é do leanbh nach bhfaca tú riamh,
Ó a hó a, hó a óa, ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí.

Shiúil mise thoir agus shiúil mise thiar,
Ach féasóg ar leanbh ní fhaca mé riamh,
Ó a hó a, hó a óa, ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí.

Is a Pheigín na gcarad is a Pheigín mo chroí,
Ó, éirigh ’do sheasamh ’gus réitigh greim bia,
Ó a hó a, hó a óa, ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí.

Is a Pheadair na gcarad is a Pheadair mo chroí,
Níl ins an teach aon ghreim mine buí,
Ó a hó a, hó a óa, ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí.

Is a Pheigín na gcarad is a Pheigín mo chroí,
In íochtar mo mhála tá cáca mine buí
Ó a hó a, hó a óa, ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí.

A Pheadair na gcarad is a Pheadair mo chroí,
Tá an cáca seo agat lán de ghineachaí buí,
Ó a hó a, hó a óa, ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí.

Is a Pheigín, is a mhaicín, suífimid síos
Ní fhagfaidh mé an baile chúns mhairfeas mé arís,
Ó a hó a, hó a óa, ó a hó, a stóirín mo chroí.

This song is already posted on Mudcat, with explanation
see https://mudcat.org/thread.cfm?threadid=18132#177725
(thread title Lyr Req: Peigin Mo Chroi)

The conversation is similar to that in an English language song called Seven Drunken Nights

Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart
Oh, who is that tall man?
O ho o hi ho ha, O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart

Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
That is your baby whom you never saw
O ho o hi ho ha, O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart

I walked east and I walked west
But a beard on a baby I have never before seen
O ho o hi ho ha, O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart

Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
Rise up now and prepare some food
O ho o hi ho ha, O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart

Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
I have not a grain of yellow meal in the house
O ho o hi ho ha, O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart

Peigin, my friend, and Peigin, my heart
In the bottom of my bag there is a yellow meal cake
O ho o hi ho ha, O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart

Oh Peadar friend Peter is my heart,
This cake you have is full of golden guineas
O ho o hi ho ha, O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart

Peigin, my friend, we will sit down
I'll never leave home again for as long as I live
O ho o hi ho ha, O hi ho, oh Peigin, my heart

Scottish Gaelic version by Brian Ó hEadhra

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7hBzd-kCya8

A Pheigi a ghràidhag 's a Pheigi mo chridh'
Cò am fear fad' ud tha sìnte sìos

Ò a hò, ò a hò
Ò a hò, a stòir is mo chridh'

A Pheadair a charaid 's a Pheadair mo chridh'
'S e sin do leanabh nach fhaca tu riamh

O shiubhail mise sear agus shiubhail mise siar
Ach feusag ar leanabh chan fhaca mi 'riamh

A Pheigi a ghràidhag 's a Pheigi mo chridh'
Èirigh nad sheasamh is deasaich greim bidh

A Pheadair a charaid 's a Pheadair mo chridh'
Chan eil san taigh agamsa greim mine buidh

A Pheigi a ghràidhag 's a Pheigi mo chridh
An iochdar mo mhalaid tha cèic mine buidh

'S a Pheigin 's mo mhacan suidheamaid sìos
Ch fhàg mi am baile gu siorraidh a-rithist

Peigi, my friend, and Peigi, my heart
Who is that tall man stretched alongside you?

Oh a ho, oh a ho
Oh a hi, my lovem oh love of my heart

Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
That is your baby whom you never saw

Oh I walked east and I walked west
But a beard on a baby I have never before seen

Peigi, my love, and Peigi, my heart
Rise up now and prepare some food

Peadar, my friend, and Peadar, my heart
I have not a grain of yellow meal in the house

Peigi, my love, and Peigi, my heart
In the bottom of my bag there is a yellow meal cake

Peigi and my son, we will sit down
I'll never leave home again for as long as I live

Hey Filipa, I put Peigín Is Peadar and no results and assumed it wasn't listed

I found the thread by just searching for "Peigin". I knew it had been posted before.

a couple of corrections:

Graidhag should be spelled graidheag

The last line is Chan fhàg mi am baile gu siorraidh a-rithist
