I was listening to the Pogues version of The Limerick Rake today and I was just curious what "Agus fagaimid siud mar ata se" means and how do you prounounce it?

Thanks in advance.

Well, siúd here refers to waht the singer is hinting at in the verse just sung.

In English it's prolly best translated as:

And we'll leave that as it is, ahem...
