Chorus: |
|
Bhean an tighe, fàg an siola |
Oh woman of the house, leave the gill |
|
'M botul làn a tha mi sireadh |
It is the full bottle that I'm seeking |
|
Dh'òlainn deoch-slàinte nan gillean |
I would drink a toast to the young men |
|
A dh'imich Di-Luain bhuainn |
Who left us on Monday |
| |
|
|
Chruinnich còmhlan cridheil, ùrail |
A company gathered who were merry, fresh |
|
Fonnmhor, farumach, glan, cùirteil |
Tuneful, loud, fine and courteous |
|
'S gur e dh' fhàg mi trom fo chùram |
The thing that has left me disturbed |
|
An luchd-ciùil bhith bhuapa |
Is the we have no musicians |
| |
|
|
(Sèist) |
(Chorus) |
| |
|
|
Gu'n robh feadhainn as gach àit ann |
There were some from everywhere |
|
Fir á Sestico 's á Màbou |
People from Port Hood and Mabou |
|
Fir á Siùdaig nam beann àrda |
People from Judique, of the tall mountains |
|
Bhiodh làmhach 's a' chruadal |
Who would be adroit in adversity |
| |
|
|
(Sèist) |
(Chorus) |
| |
|
|
Cha robh bhuainn an sin ach fìdhlear |
All we needed then was a fiddler |
|
Leis an gluaiseamaid 's an ruìdhle |
To whom we would move in a reel |
|
'S e bhith cur earbsa á trì dhiubh |
Waiting for the three we expected |
|
Chuir mi fhìn cho luaineach |
Made me anxious for music |
| |
|
|
(Sèist) |
(Chorus) |
| |
|
|
Labhair Donnchadh le guth àrd ruinn |
Duncan called out in loud voice |
|
"O' n a tha luchd-ciùil anns a' Bhràighe |
"Since we have musicians in Margaree |
|
Falbhaidh mise leis an làir |
I will go with the mare |
|
'S thig Peadar Dhaibhidh nuas leam" |
And Peter David will come back with me" |
| |
|
|
(Sèist) |
(Chorus) |

|
|
Fhuair iad ceòl, 's cha robh e cearbach |
___ |
|
Ceòl as am biodh dannsair earbsach |
___ |
|
'S e rud bochd a bh'ann gu dearbh |
___ |
|
An Carghus thigh'nn cho luath oirnn |
