English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Ruighleadh giomach ri crubaig |
The lobster shall reel with the crab |
|
Agus crubag ris a ghiomach |
And the crab with the lobster |
|
Gun dannsadh giomach ri crubag |
The lobster shall dance with the crab |
|
'S gun ruighleadh iad ri grunnd na mara |
And they shall reel underneath the ocean |
| |
|
|
Ruighleadh giomach ri crubaig |
The lobster shall reel with the crab |
|
Agus crubag ris a ghiomach |
And the crab with the lobster |
|
Gun dannsadh crubag ri crubag |
The crab shall dance with the crab |
|
'S gun seatadh an giomach carach |
And the lobster's steps will be whirling |
| |
|
|
Sčist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Ruighleamaid is dannsamaid |
We'll reel and dance |
|
'S gu seatamaid 's gum biomaid math air |
We'll dance and we'll be good at it |
|
Ruighleamaid le iongnan grinn |
We'll dance with tidy nails |
|
Ri guth ro bhinn na maighdean mhara |
To the sweet voice of the mermaid |
|
Dannsamaid is ruighleamaid |
We'll dance and we'll reel |
|
Is seataidh sinn gun toir sinn fairis |
We'll dance and we'll be good at it |
|
Ars' an giomach ris a' chrubaig |
Said the lobster to the crab |
|
'S iad a' danns' air grunnd na mara |
As they danced at the bottom of the ocean |
| |
|
|
"Ah," ars' an giomach ris an fhidhleir |
"Ah," said the lobster to the fiddler |
|
Crosgag a bha glan agus binn air |
Who was a starfish and played superbly |
|
Tha bhogha 's na teudan a' sgiamhail |
His screaming body and tenticles |
|
'S a' sgreuchail mar bheathach allaidh |
Screeching like a werewolf |
| |
|
|
'S thionndaidh a' chrubag ris an drumair |
The crab turned to the drummer |
|
Ochd chasach a bha cumail buille |
Who kept the rhythm with his eight feet |
|
"Cha chum mo chasan riut tuilleadh |
"I cannot keep up with you any longer |
|
Chan urrain dhomh aon cheum nas fhaide" |
I'm exhausted" |
| |
|
|
Cha sgaoth de sgadan anns a' choisir |
There was a choir of herring |
|
Agus rionnach a' seinn comhla |
The mackerel joined in |
|
Bha trosgag is adag is ron ann |
The starfish, haddock and seal |
|
A' cumail fonn air grunnd na mara |
Sang at the bottom of the ocean |
| |
|
|
(Sčist 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |
