Dannsa, ruidhle, ruidhle bhoidheach Dance, reel, a bonny reel
Ruidhle bhoidheach, dannsa direach A bonny reel, a tidy dance
Dannsa, ruidhle, ruidhle bhoidheach Dance, reel, a bonny reel
Ruidhle bhoidheach, dannsa direach A bonny reel, a tidy dance
   
Ciamar a ni mi dannsa direach How can I make a tidy dance
Ciamar a ni mi ruidhle bhoidheach How can I dance a bonny reel
Ciamar a ni mi dannsa direach How can I make a tidy dance
Dh'fhalbh am prionn as bonn mo chota The pin went from the hem of my coat

O cha bhi mi fo mhulad Oh I won't be sad
Nuair thig a' fidhleir, a' fidhleir anochd When the fiddler, the fiddler comes tonight
   
Tha nid na circe-fraoiche The nest of the grouse
