Lyrics
(4) Peata Beag Do Mháthair (Trad)
Is trua gan peata'n mhaoir agam
Is trua gan peata'n mhaoir agam
Is na caoirigh beaga bána
Curfá:
Is ó gairm, gairm thú
Is grá mo chroí gan chealg thú
Is ó gairm, gairm thú
Is tú peata beag do mháthair
Is trua gan maoinín bhán agam
Is trua gan maoinín bhán agam
Is trua gan maoinín bhán agam
Is fáilte ó mo ghrá geal
Is trua gan bólacht bainne agam
Is trua gan bólacht bainne agam
Is trua gan bólacht bainne agam
Is caitín ó mo mháthair
Is trua gan gabhairín bhuí agam
Is trua gan gabhairín bhuí agam
Is trua gan gabhairín bhuí agam
Is thabharfainn do mo stór í
Peata Beag (English Translation)
'Tis a pity I haven't the Steward's pet
'Tis a pity I haven't the Steward's pet
'Tis a pity I haven't the Steward's pet
And the little white sheep
Chorus
And oh I call, I call you
You are my heart's love without deceit
And oh I call, I call you
You are your mother's little pet
'Tis a pity I haven't a little white calf
'Tis a pity I haven't a little white calf
'Tis a pity I haven't a little white calf
And welcome from by fair love
'Tis a pity I haven't a milking herd
'Tis a pity I haven't a milking herd
'Tis a pity I haven't a milking herd
And a kitten from my mother
'Tis a pity I haven't a little tan goat
'Tis a pity I haven't a little tan goat
'Tis a pity I haven't a little tan goat
I would give it to my darling
