Amadan g̣rach saighdear
| Amadan g̣rach g̣rach | Silly, silly fool |
| Amadan g̣rach saighdear | Silly fool of a soldier |
| Amadan g̣rach g̣rach | Silly, silly fool |
| Chunna mi 'g ̣l a-raoir thu | I saw you drinking last night |
| Amadan g̣rach g̣rach | Silly, silly fool |
| Amadan g̣rach saighdear | Silly fool of a soldier |
| Amadan g̣rach g̣rach | Silly, silly fool |
| Chunna mi 'g ̣l a-raoir thu | I saw you drinking last night |
| Chunna mi gabhail an rathaid thu | I saw you walking the road |
| Le d' uile ball airm a' stroighlich | With all your gear clattering |
| Thu gearan na rathad a bhith garbh | Complaining that the road was rough |
| Ach, a bhalaich, 's ann bha e r' aimleathan | But, my lad, it was too narrow |
| Chunna mi gabhail an rathaid thu | I saw you walking the road |
| Le d' uile ball airm a' stroighlich | With all your gear clattering |
| Thu gearan na rathad a bhith garbh | Complaining that the road was rough |
| Ach, a bhalaich, 's ann bha e r' aimleathan | But, my lad, it was too narrow |
