Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Bhon chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium Since my love turned his back on me
Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh He'll not go dancing with me
Bhon chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium Since my love turned his back on me
Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh He'll not go dancing with me
Bhon chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium Since my love turned his back on me
Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh He'll not go dancing with me
Bhon chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium Since my love turned his back on me
Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh He'll not go dancing with me
   
Cha tèid e leam, cha fhalbh e leam He'll not go, he'll not go with me
Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh He'll not go dancing with me
Cha tèid e leam, cha fhalbh e leam He'll not go, he'll not go with me
Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh He'll not go dancing with me
Cha tèid e leam, cha fhalbh e leam He'll not go, he'll not go with me
Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh He'll not go dancing with me
Bhon chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium Since my love turned his back on me
Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh He'll not go dancing with me

Sheatadh cailleach, ruidhleadh cailleach The old woman would set, the old woman would reel
Sheatadh cailleach ris a'bhalg The old woman would set to the bellows
Sheatadh cailleach Uilleam Bhuidhe Fair-haired William's old wife would set
Ris a'bhuidhinn a bh'air falbh To the group who had gone

Ruidhleadh cailleach nan cailleach The oldest woman of the old women would reel
Ri cailleach Bhaile nan Cailleach With the old woman from the village of the nuns
'S gu seatadh a'chailleach Hearach And the old Harris woman would set
Ris a'chaillich a bh'air falbh To the old woman who had gone

Ruidhleadh cailleach Iain Bhuidhe Fair-haired John's old wife would dance
Ris a'chaillich a bh'aig Uilleam With William's old wife
'S nuair thug Anna dhith a currag And when Anne removed her cap
B'fheadar do dh'Iain Curaidh falbh Brave John had to go

Sèist: Chorus:
A-null thar nan eileanan Over the islands
Dh'Aimeireaga gun tèid sinn To America we will go
A-null thar nan eileanan Over the islands
Dh'Aimeireaga gun tèid sinn To America we will go
A-null thar nan eileanan Over the islands
Dh'Aimeireaga gun tèid sinn To America we will go
A-null rathad Shasainn Over via England
Agus dhachaigh rathad Èirinn And home via Ireland
   
B'e siud am port a bh'againne That was our tune
Dol seachad air Dun Èideann Passing Edinburgh
B'e siud am port a bh'againne That was our tune
Dol seachad air Dun Èideann Passing Edinburgh
B'e siud am port a bh'againne That was our tune
Dol seachad air Dun Èideann Passing Edinburgh
A-null rathad Shasainn Over via England
Agus dhachaigh rathad Èirinn And home via Ireland
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Bha pìoban gan spreigeadh The pipers were blown up
Agus feadanan gan gleusadh And the chanters were tuned
Bha pìoban gan spreigeadh The pipers were blown up
Agus feadanan gan gleusadh And the chanters were tuned
Bha pìoban gan spreigeadh The pipers were blown up
Agus feadanan gan gleusadh And the chanters were tuned
A h-uile fear le ìt' na bhonaid Each man with a feather in his bonnet
Sporain air is fèileadh A sporan and a kilt
   
(Sèist 2x) (Chorus 2x)
   
B'e siud na gillean togarrach They were lively lads
B'e siud na gillean èibhinn They were amusing lads
B'e siud na gillean togarrach They were lively lads
B'e siud na gillean èibhinn They were amusing lads
B'e siud na gillean togarrach They were lively lads
B'e siud na gillean èibhinn They were amusing lads
B'e siud na gillean sgiobalta They were nimble lads
Is b'iullagach an ceuman With frolicsome steps
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Mun dh'fhàg sinn crìochan Shasainn Before we left the English borders
Agus dhealaich sinn ri chèile And parted from each other
Mun dh'fhàg sinn crìochan Shasainn Before we left the English borders
Agus dhealaich sinn ri chèile And parted from each other
Mun dh'fhàg sinn crìochan Shasainn Before we left the English borders
Agus dhealaich sinn ri chèile And parted from each other
Gun b'aighearach na caileagan The girls were lively
A' crathadh an cuid bhrèidean Shaking their braids
   
(Sèist 2x) (Chorus 2x)
