|
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 |

Chuirinn mo bhroigais orm 's gheibhinn ar dòigh |
