Bha fear an taigh aig bean an taigh The man of the house danced with the good-wife
'S an sgallag aig an t-searbhant' The farmhand with the maid
Bha m buachaill' aig a' bhanaraich The cowherd danced with the milkmaid
'S mo sheannair aig mo sheanmhair And my grandfather and grandmother danced together too

'S sheinneadh iad an ruidhle And they all played together for the wedding reel
