Thoir a nall Ailean thugam
Cha teid Fionnlagh a dh'Eige | Finlay won't go to Eigg |
Ged nach pòsda e feasda | Although he's not married yet |
Cha teid Fionnladh a dh'Eige | Finlay won't go to Eigg |
Dh'Eige cha teid Fionnlagh | To Eigg Finlay won't go |
Cha teid Fionnlagh a dh'Eige | Finlay won't go to Eigg |
Ged nach pòsda e feasda | Although he's not married yet |
Cha teid Fionnladh a dh'Eige | Finlay won't go to Eigg |
Dh'Eige cha teid Fionnlagh | To Eigg Finlay won't go |

Thoir a nall Ailean thugam | Bring Allan over to me |
Ailean thugam, Ailean thugam | To me, to me |
Thoir a nall Ailean thugam | Bring Allan over to me |
Seatadh e'n t-urlar | He would set the floor |
Thoir a nall Ailean thugam | Bring Allan over to me |
Ailean thugam, Ailean thugam | To me, to me |
Thoir a nall Ailean thugam | Bring Allan over to me |
Seatadh e'n t-urlar | He would set the floor |
Ceann ruadh air a nighean | The girl has red hair |
Buidhe ruadh air a nighean | The girl has yellow-red hair |
Ceann ruadh air a nighean | The girl has red hair |
Mar a bh'air a màthair | Just like her mother |
Ceann ruadh air a nighean | The girl has red hair |
Buidhe ruadh air a nighean | The girl has yellow-red hair |
Ceann ruadh air a nighean | The girl has red hair |
Mar a bh'air a màthair | Just like her mother |
Dòmhnall àlainn a' tighinn | Handsome Donald on his way |
Mac a' Bhàilidh à Uibhist | Son of the Bailiff from Uist |
Dòmhnall àlainn a' tighinn | Handsome Donald on his way |
Tighearna na luirgne | The long-legged Earl |
Dòmhnall àlainn a' tighinn | Handsome Donald on his way |
Mac a' Bhàilidh à Uibhist | Son of the Bailiff from Uist |
Dòmhnall àlainn a' tighinn | Handsome Donald on his way |
Tighearna na luirgne | The long-legged Earl |
