Co a sheinneas an fhideag airigid	Who will play the silver whistle?
Ho ro hu a hu il o	Ho ro hu a hu il o
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o	Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o

Mac mo righ air tighinn a dh'Alba	Since the son of my king has come to Scotland
Ho ro hu a hu il o	Ho ro hu a hu il o
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o	Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o

Air lang mhar nar tri chrann airgid	On a great ship with three masts of silver
Ho ro hu a hu il o	Ho ro hu a hu il o
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o	Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o

Air long riomhach nam ball airgid	On the handsome vessel with the silver rigging
Ho ro hu a hu il o	Ho ro hu a hu il o
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o	Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o

Tearlach og nan gorm shuil mealach	Young Charles with the blue bewitching eyes
Ho ro hu a hu il o	Ho ro hu a hu il o
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o	Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o

Failte, failte mian is clui dhuit	Welcome, welcome, may you be desired and famous
Ho ro hu a hu il o	Ho ro hu a hu il o
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o	Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o

Fidhleireachd is ragha a'uil dhuit	May there be fiddling and the choicest music before you
Ho ro hu a hu il o	Ho ro hu a hu il o
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o	Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o

Co a sheinneadh? Nach seinninn fhin i?	Who'd play it? Who'd say that I'd not play it myself?
Ho ro hu a hu il o	Ho ro hu a hu il o
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o	Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o

Co a sheinneas an fhideag airigid	Who will play the silver whistle?
Ho ro hu a hu il o	Ho ro hu a hu il o
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o	Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o
