[crystallizedtwilight]

From the music video for Bean Phaidin (Paidin's wife). The song is sung from the perspective of a jealous woman who has fallen in love with married man. The melody is playful but lyrics detail how the woman wishes Phaidin’s wife was dead, or stolen, or her legs would break. However, Phaidin and his wife are too in love to notice her. Celtic Woman also does a great version.

Was wed, I wish I was wedded

He's chosen to marry another

And that is the cause of my raging

- Bean Pháidín by Celtic Woman
