Chorus (after each verse): |
|
'Sa gheala nam bothan nam bothan |
Oh the white one of the bothies |
|
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
|
'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
|
Bothan a bh'aig Fionnghuala |
The bothy that was Fionnaghuala's |
|
'Sa gheala nam bothan nam bothan |
Oh the white one of the bothies |
|
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
|
'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
|
Bothan a bh'aig Fionnghuala |
The bothy that was Fionnaghuala's |
| |
|
|
Thuirt an gobha, "Fuirighidh mi" |
The blacksmith said, "I'll wait" |
|
'S thuirt an gobha, "Falbhaidh mi" |
The blacksmith said, "I'll go" |
|
Thuirt an gobha, leis an othail |
The blacksmith said, in his confusion |
|
A bh'air an doras an t-sabhail |
In the door of the barn |
|
Gu rachadh e a shuirghe |
That he would go courting |
| |
|
|
Bheirinn fead air fulmairean |
I'd knock spots off the fulmars |
|
Bheirinn fead air falmairean |
I'd knock spots off the hakes |
|
Liuthannan beaga na mara |
The little lythe of the sea |
|
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn |
We'd spend a while hauling them |
|
Na maireadh na duirrgh dhuinn |
If our hand-lines lasted |
