Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Tha buaidh air an uisge bheatha |
There's benefit in the whiskey |
|
Tha buaidh air 's cha ghabh e cleith |
It's good for you, that can't be denied |
|
Tha buaidh air an uisge bheatha |
There's benefit in the whiskey |
|
Dh'òlainn tè is fuar i |
I'd take a drink of it cold |
| |
|
|
An cuala sibh 's an àite so |
Did you hear around this area |
|
Mu 'n Ford a fhuair an Lamanach |
Of the Ford that Lamond got |
|
Gu fan i far am fàgar i |
It'll stay where it's left |
|
Mur tàimear i cha ghluais i |
And won't move unless it's towed |
| |
|
|
'S e sud an car tha cunnartach |
That's a car that's dangerous |
|
Ma thàras i air buill' thoirt dhuit |
If it gives you a thump |
|
An làrach far an cuir i thu |
Wherever it sets you down |
|
Gu fuirich thu 'nad shuain ann |
You'll stay there, knocked out |
| |
|
|
Ma ghluaiseas e do 'n bhaile rith |
If he goes to town with it |
|
A steach Black Brook gu 'n caillir i |
It'll lose steam by Black Brook |
|
Cha dèan i cnoc Iain Shalaich dheth |
It won't make it up Dirty John's hill |
|
'S cha toir a h-anail suas i |
It hasn't got the power |
| |
|
|
'S gu 'n d'thuirt Dòmhnaill Angus ris |
Donald Angus said to him |
|
An déidh dha chuis a rannsachadh |
The man who checked it out |
|
Tha 'n uidheam stiùiridh cam oirre |
"The steering is all bent |
|
Mu 'n dèan i call, cuir uait i |
Before it causes serious damage, get rid of it" |
| |
|
|
Nis crìochnaichidh mi 'n dan so dhuibh |
Now I'll finish this song for you |
|
An dùil gu 'n dèan sibh fabhar leam |
And hope you'll do me this favor |
|
Na innsibh e do 'n Lamanach |
Don't tell this to Lamond |
|
Mur fàs e ann an gruaim rium |
In case he gets upset with me |
