Answer 2

I dunno about the macarena but isn't that Peigín Litir Móir?

It goes:

Cúrfá:

Só gairm gairm í agus gairm í mo stór.

Míle grá le m’anam í sí Peigín Leitir mór.

Éirigh suas a Pheigín agus seas ar bharr an aírd

Comhraigh do chuid bulán agus féach a’ bhfuil said ann.

Cúrfá

Comhraigh do chuid bullán ‘s féach a’ bhfuil said ann.

‘S má comhraíonn tú i gceart iad ‘s maith an léann atá ‘do cheann.

‘S scéala chuir sí arais chugam go ndéanfad bád beag seol.

Curfá

‘S da bhfeicfeá Colm Thomáis ‘na sheasamh ar an árd

Ag faire ar an ainnir go bhfaigfeadh sé cúpla póg

Curfá
