Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Chan urrainn dhomh a bhith ag innse dhuibh |
I cannot make up my mind |
|
Gu de a cheard a b'innealt leam |
Which profession I'd prefer |
|
Oir b'fhearr leam a bhith nam phiobaire |
I'd rather be a piper |
|
Ri piobaireachd 'sa chomhstri |
Than strive for it |
|
Chan urrainn dhomh a bhith ag innse dhuibh |
I cannot make up my mind |
|
Gu de a cheard a b'innealt leam |
Which profession I'd prefer |
|
Oir b'fhearr leam a bhith nam phiobaire |
I'd rather be a piper |
|
Ri piobaireachd 'sa chomhstri |
Than strive for it |

Nam bithinn na mo thuathanach |
If I was a farmer |
|
Nam bithinn na mo thuathanach |
If I was a farmer |
|
Nam bithinn na mo thuathanach |
If I was a farmer |
|
Gun speallainn sguaban eorna |
I'd sythe sheaves of corn |
|
Gun ceangaillinn suas gu snasail iad |
I'd tie them up smartly |
|
Is chuirinn air an casan iad |
Stand them up in orderly fashion |
|
Gan sgioblachadh nan adagan |
Tidy them as shocks of corn |
|
Nan sreathan gasda comhnard |

Nam bithinn na mo bhreabadair |
If I was a weaver |
|
Nam bithinn na mo bhreabadair |
If I was a weaver |
|
Nam bithinn na mo bhreabadair |
If I was a weaver |
|
Gun fithinn plaid' is clo dhut |
I'd knit you a plaid of tweed |
|
Gun fithinn breacan dathach dhut |
I'd knit you a colorful |
|
Le dluth is cur cho ealanta |
Elegant tartan |
|
Le feileadh beag mud asnaichean |
A small kilt |
|
'S ann ort a bhitheadh a mhor chuis |
To make you feel proud to wear |
