Bodach beag a lòinean

Sèist: Chorus:
Hill agus iùll agus fhuair mi ainm Hill and iull and I was given a name
Hill agus iùll agus fhuair mi ainm Hill and iull and I was given a name
Hill agus iùll agus fhuair mi ainm Hill and iull and I was given a name
Bodach beag a lòinean a thug iad orm Little old man of the pond, they called me
   
Beiridh mise chuile latha, 's cha bheir a chrodh-laoigh I give birth everyday and the milk cow doesn't
Beiridh mise chuile latha, 's cha bheir a chrodh-laoigh I give birth everyday and the milk cow doesn't
Beiridh mise chuile latha, 's cha bheir a chrodh-laoigh I give birth everyday and the milk cow doesn't
Gheibh sibhs' an t-ugh agamsa 's an stabull laoigh You'll find my eggs in the calf byre

Bo-ù, bo-ù, bo-ù, arsa cú Ceit bheag Bow, wow, wow, says little Kate's dog
Bo-ù, bo-ù, bo-ù, arsa cú Ceit bheag Bow, wow, wow, says little Kate's dog
Sùilean is chluasan ann an cù Ceit bheag Little Kate's dog has eyes and ears
