Be siud a bhriogais uallach ho ri um bi |
That was some pair of trousers |
Briogais an duin' uasail ho ri um bo |
The gentleman's trousers |
Nuair a chuir mi suas i ho ri um bi |
When I wore them |
'S ioma duin' a chual' e nach robh na coir |
Many a fellow who heard was never near it |
|
|
Chaidh mi chun an taillear ho ri um bi |
I went to the tailor |
Feuch an toir e pairt dhi ho ri um bo |
To see if he would take them in |
Thuirt e airson paigheadh ho ri um bi |
He said he could, for a fee |
'San a rinn mi gaire le na h-innte chloimh |
I just laughed at all the cloth that was used |
|
|
Be siud a bhriogais uallach ho ri um bi |
That was some pair of trousers |
Briogais an duin' uasail ho ri um bo |
The gentleman's trousers |
Nuair a chuir mi suas i ho ri um bi |
When I wore them |
'S ioma duin' a chual' e nach robh na coir |
Many a fellow who heard was never near it |

Hai o na h-eireagan |
Hai o the pullets |
Na h-eireagan, na h-eireagan |
The pullets, the pullets |
Hai o na h-eireagan |
Hai o the pullets |
Nach aighear mar a dh'fhalbh iad |
Isn't it strange how they disappeared |
Hai o na h-eireagan |
Hai o the pullets |
Na h-eireagan, na h-eireagan |
The pullets, the pullets |
Hai o na h-eireagan |
Hai o the pullets |
Nach aighear mar a dh'fhalbh iad |
Isn't it strange how they disappeared |
|

Bha eireagan aig Bill ann |
Bill had pullets there |
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann |
Bill had pullets there |
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann |
Bill had pullets there |
S ticket air an earball |
With tickets on their tails |
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann |
Bill had pullets there |
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann |
Bill had pullets there |
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann |
Bill had pullets there |
S ticket air an earball |
With tickets on their tails |

Na h-eireagan, na h-eireagan |
The pullets, the pullets |
Hai o na h-eireagan |

Nach aighear mar a dh'fhalbh iad |
Isn't it strange how they disappeared |
Hai o na h-eireagan |

Na h-eireagan, na h-eireagan |
The pullets, the pullets |
Hai o na h-eireagan |
Hai o the pullets |
Nach aighear mar a dh'fhalbh iad |
Isn't it strange how they disappeared |
