Lyrics:	English Translation:

Chaill mo làmh a lùths	My hand has lost its power
Chaill mo làmh a lùths	My hand has lost its power
Chaill mo làmh a lùths	My hand has lost its power
Thrèig an lùdag mi	And the little finger is gone

Mo dhìth, mo dhìth, gun trì làmhan	Alas that I do not have three hands
Mo dhìth, mo dhìth, gun trì làmhan	Alas that I do not have three hands
Dà làimh 's a' phìob, dà làimh 's a' phìob	Two on the pipes, two on the pipes
Dà làimh 's a' phìob, 's tè 's a' chlaidheamh	Two on the pipes and one on the sword

Chaill mo làmh a lùths	My hand has lost its power
Chaill mo làmh a lùths	My hand has lost its power
Chaill mo làmh a lùths	My hand has lost its power
Thrèig an lùdag mi	And the little finger is gone

Dili o iodalam	Dili o iodalam
Deur chan eil 's a' phig' agam	There's not a drop in my pitcher
Dili o iodalam	Dili o iodalam
Deur cha robh riamh ann	There was never a drop in it
Dili o iodalam	Dili o iodalam
Eil deur idir, idir ann?	Is there not a single drop in my pitcher?
Dili o iodalam	Dili o iodalam
Deur cha robh riamh ann	There was never a drop in it

'Cuala sibh ma Dhòmhnall Og?	Did you hear of young Donald?
Bh'e còir, sgiobalta	He was fine and neat
'Cuala sibh ma Dhòmhnall Og?	Did you hear of young Donald?
Bh'e còir, bòidheach	He was fine and beautiful
'Cuala sibh ma Dhòmhnall Og?	Did you hear of young Donald?
Bh'e còir, sgiobalta	He was fine and neat
Sgiobalta bha Dòmhnall Og	Young Donald was neat indeed
Leis an t-seana chòta	In his old coat

Dili o iodalam	Dili o iodalam
Deur chan eil 's a' phig' agam	There's not a drop in my pitcher
Dili o iodalam	Dili o iodalam
Deur cha robh riamh ann	There was never a drop in it
Dili o iodalam	Dili o iodalam
Eil deur idir, idir ann?	Is there not a single drop in my pitcher?
Dili o iodalam	Dili o iodalam
Deur cha robh riamh ann	There was never a drop in it

Nuair a thèid Dòmh'll ris an t-sliabh	When Donald goes to the hills
'S fiadhaich a ruitheas e	He runs fiercely
Nuair a thèid Dòmh'll ris an t-sliabh	When Donald goes to the hills
'S fiadhaich a dh'fhalbhas e	He runs wildly
Nuair a thèid Dòmh'll ris an t-sliabh	When Donald goes to the hills
'S fiadhaich a ruitheas e	He runs fiercely
Dòmh'll cho luath ris an fhiadh	Donald as swift as the deer
Agus aona bhròg air	With only one shoe on
