Fionnghuala

Thuirt an gobha fuirighidh mi	The blacksmith said, "I'll wait"
'S thuirt an gobha falbhaidh mi	The blacksmith said, "I'll go"
'S thuirt an gobha leis an othail	The blacksmith said, in his confusion
A bh' air an dòrus an t-sàbhail	Standing at the door of the barn
Gu rachadh e a shuirghe	That he was going to go courting

Sèist:	Chorus:
'Si eilean nam bothan nam bothan	Island of bothies, of bothies
Eilean nam bothan nam bothan	Island of bothies, of bothies
Eilean nam bothan nam bothan	Island of bothies, of bothies
Am bothan a bh' aig Fionnghuala	Fingal's bothies

Bheirinn fead air fulmairean	I'd knock spots off the birds
Bheirinn fead air falmairean	I'd knock spots off the hakes
Liuthannan beaga na mara	Little lythes of the sea
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn	We would take a while hauling them in
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn	If our hand lines last

Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo	We got nothing here
Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo	We got nothing here
Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo	We got nothing here
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn	We would take a while hauling them in
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn	If our hand lines last
