Calum beag
'S Calum beag o thìr a'mhurain | Little Calum from the land of Marram Grass |
Calum beag o lub a'gheòidh | Little Calum from the goose-dub |
Calum beag o thìr a'mhurain | Little Calum from the land of Marram Grass |
Bheireadh e luinneag air ceòl | He would sing the chorus to a tune |
'S Calum beag o thìr a'mhurain | Little Calum from the land of Marram Grass |
Calum beag o lub a'gheòidh | Little Calum from the goose-dub |
Calum beag o thìr a'mhurain | Little Calum from the land of Marram Grass |
Bheireadh e luinneag air ceòl | He would sing the chorus to a tune |
Sud am bàta chaidh o riaghailt | There's the boat that's gone off course |
Bàta nach iarraidh a seòl | The boat that doesn't need a sail |
Tonnan ga togail's 'ga leagail | Lifting and dropping with the waves |
'S Calum 's a bhoineid 'na dhòrn | And Calum with his bonnet in his fist |
Sud am bàta chaidh o riaghailt | There's the boat that's gone off course |
Bàta nach iarraidh a seòl | The boat that doesn't need a sail |
Tonnan ga togail's 'ga leagail | Lifting and dropping with the waves |
'S Calum 's a bhoineid 'na dhòrn | And Calum with his bonnet in his fist |
