I know it's 8 years late, but maybe you are still looking, or perhaps somebody else might be waiting.

English



PEGGY LETTERMORE (English)

Chorus:
O welcome and acclaimed is she, my love!
Dear to my soul, a thousand told, is Peggy Lettermore

Rise up, dear Peggy and stand up on the height
count all your cattle, and make sure they're all there

I have Brid and I have Kate but Peggy is the best of all
whichever man wins her hand, a lucky man he will be

I sent a message west to her, that I would buy a large boat
She sent a message back to me that a medium sized sailing boat would do

The Galway fishermen are sailing from the eastwith a fair wind
with the light of a bright moon in order to see the "jewel."


The Right one!!!


Chorus:
'S o gairm gaoirm i, is gairim i mo stor
Mile ghra le m' ainm i 'si Peigin Leitir Moir

Ta Brid agam, ta Cait agam, 'si Peig an bhean is fearr
Cibe fear a gheobhfas i, nach air a bheas an t-adh

Chuir me sceala siar aici go ceannoinn di bad mor
'Se an sceal a chuir si aniar agam go ndeanfadh leathbhad seoil

Is ta iascairi na Gaillimhe ag teacht aniar le coir
Le solas gealai gile no go bhfeicfidis an tseoid

Eirigh suas a Pheigin agus seas ar bharr an aird
Comhairigh do chuid bullain agus feach an bhfuil siad ann
