Thuirt an gobha "Fuirighidh mi" |
The blacksmith said, "I'll wait" |
'S thuirt an gobha, "Falbhaidh mi" |
The blacksmith said, "I'll go" |
Thuirt an gobha "Fuirighidh mi" |
The blacksmith said, "I'll wait" |
'S thuirt an gobha, "Falbhaidh mi" |
The blacksmith said, "I'll go" |

|
Thuirt an gobha "Fuirighidh mi" |
The blacksmith said, "I'll wait" |
'S thuirt an gobha, "Falbhaidh mi" |
The blacksmith said, "I'll go" |
Thuirt an gobha, leis an othail |
The blacksmith said, through his confusion |
A bh'air an doras an t-sabhail |
In the door of the barn |
Gu rachadh e a shuirghe |
That he would go courting |
|
|
'Sa gheala ham bothan nam bothan |
'Sa gheala ham bothan nam bothan |
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
Bothan a bh'aig Fionnghuala |
Bothan a bh'aig Fionnghuala |

Bheirinn fead air fulmairean |
I'd knock spots off the fulmars |
Bheirinn fead air falmairean |
I'd knock spots off the hakes |
Bheirinn fead air fulmairean |
I'd knock spots off the fulmars |
Bheirinn fead air falmairean |
I'd knock spots off the hakes |
|
|
Bheirinn fead air fulmairean |
I'd knock spots off the fulmars |
Bheirinn fead air falmairean |
I'd knock spots off the hakes |
Liuthannan beaga na mara |
The little lythe of the sea |
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn |
We'd spend a while hauling them |
Na maireadh na duirrgh dhuinn |
If our hand-lines lasted |
|
|
'Sa gheala ham bothan nam bothan |
'Sa gheala ham bothan nam bothan |
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
Bothan a bh'aig Fionnghuala |
Bothan a bh'aig Fionnghuala |
