A sheana-bhean bhochd Poor old woman

Neo idir moch a maireach Or even early tomorrow
   
Thig am fidhleir an nochd The fiddler will come tonight
'S bheir i sgrìob air a' phort And she'll try out the tune

'S ged a dh'fhalbhadh e an diugh thig e maireach And though he'll go today, he'll return tomorrow
