'S toigh leam fhìn buntàta 's ìm |
I'm fond of potatoes and butter |
|
'S toigh leam fhìn na caileagan |
I'm fond of the ladies |
|
'S toigh leam fhìn buntàta 's ìm |
I'm fond of potatoes and butter |
|
Is nìghneagan a' bhaile seo |
And the girls of this village |
|
'S toigh leam fhìn buntàta 's ìm |
I'm fond of potatoes and butter |
|
'S toigh leam fhìn na caileagan |
I'm fond of the ladies |

I'm fond of potatoes and butter |
|

And the girls of this village |
