Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta, sgiobalta, sgiobalta I would go smartly, smartly, smartly
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta 's gheibhinn air dòigh I would go smartly and get myself ready
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta choimhead air Iseabail I would go smartly to go and see Isabel
Chuirinn mo bhroigais orm 's gheibhinn ar dòigh I would put on my best trousers and get myself ready
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta, sgiobalta, sgiobalta I would go smartly, smartly, smartly
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta 's gheibhinn air dòigh I would go smartly and get myself ready
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta choimhead air Iseabail I would go smartly to go and see Isabel
Chuirinn mo bhroigais orm 's gheibhinn ar dòigh I would put on my best trousers and get myself ready

Ruidhlidh na coillich dhubha The black cocks will reel
'S dannsaidh na tunnagan The ducks will dance
Ruidhlidh na coillich dhubha The black cocks will reel
Air a bhruthaich bhoidhich On the pretty slope
Ruidhlidh na coillich dhubha The black cocks will reel
'S dannsaidh na tunnagan The ducks will dance
Ruidhlidh na coillich dhubha The black cocks will reel
Air a bhruthaich bhoidhich On the pretty slope
   
Gheibh thu aran agus im You will get bread and butter
'S caise na banaraich And the dairy maid's cheese
Gheibh thu aran agus im You will get bread and butter
Agus bainne bhò ann And get cow's milk there
Gheibh thu aran agus im You will get bread and butter
'S caise na banaraich And the dairy maid's cheese
Gheibh thu aran agus im You will get bread and butter
Agus bainne bhò ann And get cow's milk there

Ma phosas Annag an diugh If Ann marries today
Posaidh gach uile te All the women will marry
Ma phosas Annag an diugh If Ann marries today
Sgaradh air an t-seana bhean Curses on the old wife
Ma phosas Annag an diugh If Ann marries today

Ma phosas Annag an diugh If Ann marries today
Sgaradh air an t-seana bhean Curses on the old wife
