Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò |
Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò |
|
Ill ù ill ò cha d'fhuair mi 'n cadal |
Ill ù ill ò I didn't get any sleep |
|
Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò |
Ill ù ill ò illean 's ò |
| |
|
|
'S ann air madainn mhoich Di Dòmhnaich |
Early Sunday morning |
|
Dh'òrdaich mi bhi aig a' bhaile |
I wished to be at home |
| |
|
|
Far am bitheadh na frolaigean sunndach |
Where there were merry frolics |
|
'S fir 'gan rùsgadh dol a shabaid |
And men stripping off to fight |
| |
|
|
'Illean a chaidil an oidhche |
Boys who slept through the night |
|
Bithibh taingeil anns a' mhadainn |
Be thankful in the morning |
| |
|
|
Mise seo a' dìreadh chrann |
I'm here climbing masts |
|
'S sibhse 'tarraing srann fon phlaididh |
While you're snoring under the blankets |
| |
|
|
Nuair a théid mi Bhràigh na h-Aibhneadh |
When I will reach Bràigh na h-Aibhneadh |
|
Bidh mo chuimhn' air oidhche Shathuirn' |
I will remember what it was like on Saturday night |
