I ud ud eatharam

Làrach do thacaidean The trace of your tackets
Làrach do chruidean The trace of your hard boots
Làrach do bhrògan The trace of your shoes
Am bòrd Loch na Muilne On the plank at the Mill Loch
   
Sèist: Chorus:
I ud ud eatharam I ud ud eatharam
I ud ud aoiream I ud ud aoiream
I ud ud eatharam I ud ud eatharam
Chunna mise raoir thu I saw you last night
   
Cha b'e brògan tacaideach You shouldn't have been wearing tackety boots
Le pleitichean is cruidhean With patches and hard soles
Bu chòir a bhith ma d' chasan On your feet
Ma 's e caithris bha nad inntinn If you had a "night visit" in mind
   
Carson a bha thu spadsearsachd Why were you stravaiging
Timchioll tigh na muilne Around the Mill House?
Robh thu'n dùil gu faigheadh tu Did you think you'd get to
Gu nighean bhuidhe mhuilleir? The miller's fair-haired daughter?
   
Cha ghabh i idir, idir, thu She won't have you at all, at all
Cha dèan i caithris oidhch' leat She won't entertain you on a "night visit"
Gu'n cuir thu bhuat na bloidsearan Until you get rid of those clumsy boots
'S gu faigh thu brògan foidhne And get finer footwear
