Fhir a dh' ith am bonnach mòr
Fhir a dh' ith am bonnach mòr | The one who ate the big bannock |
Chunna mis' e 's cha bu bheag e | I saw him and he was not small |
Fhir a dh' ith am bonnach mòr | The one who ate the big bannock |
'S a leth-chairteal annlain | And half a quarter of the provisions |
Fhir a dh' ith am bonnach mòr | The one who ate the big bannock |
Chunna mis' e 's cha bu bheag e | I saw him and he was not small |
Fhir a dh' ith am bonnach mòr | The one who ate the big bannock |
'S a leth-chairteal annlain | And half a quarter of the provisions |
Ma bha 's gun robh tuilleadh ann | If there was more |
Gun robh peice mine ann | There was a peck of meal there |
'S gur h-i tè Mhuinntir Mhingenis | And it was a woman from Minginish |
A dh' fhuin gu tioram teann e | Who baked it dry and firm |
Ma bha 's gun robh tuilleadh ann | If there was more |
Gun robh peice mine ann | There was a peck of meal there |
'S gur h-i tè Mhuinntir Mhingenis | And it was a woman from Minginish |
A dh' fhuin gu tioram teann e | Who baked it dry and firm |
