Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta, sgiobalta, sgiobalta
|
I would go smartly, smartly, smartly
|
|
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta 's gheibhinn air dòigh
|
I would go smartly and get myself ready
|
|
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta choimhead air Iseabail
|
I would go smartly to go and see Isabel
|
|
Chuirinn mo bhroigais orm 's gheibhinn ar dòigh
|
I would put on my best trousers and get myself ready
|
|
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta, sgiobalta, sgiobalta
|
I would go smartly, smartly, smartly
|
|
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta 's gheibhinn air dòigh
|
I would go smartly and get myself ready
|
|
Dh' fhalbhainn sgiobalta choimhead air Iseabail

Chuirinn mo bhroigais orm 's gheibhinn ar dòigh

Sìle, Sìle, 's i bu docha leam
|
Julia, Julia, she's my choice
|

Sìle, Sìle, am boireannach còir
|
Julia, Julia's such a find woman
|
|
Sìle, Sìle, 's i bu docha leam
|
Julia, Julia, she's my choice
|
|
Peigi nighean Uilleim a ghabh mi ri m' bheò
|
Peggy, daughter of William I could never accept
|

A' mhisg a chuir an Nollaig oirnn
|
The spree we had at Christmas
|
|
Cha robh dìth dollaidh oirnn
|
We didn't lack for liquor to make us drunk
|

A' mhisg a chuir an Nollaig oirnn
|
The spree we had at Christmas
|
|
Cha chuir i tuilleadh call oirnn
|
Won't cause us any more loss

Nighean na cailliche crotaiche, crùbaich
|
The grumpy, hump-backed lame old wife's daughter
|
|
Thionndadh i cùl is throideadh i rium
|
Would turn her back to me and scold
|
|
Bhreabadh i casan mu seach air an ùlar
|
She would stamp her feet, turn about on the floor
|
|
Thionndadh i cùl is throideadh i rium
|
She'd turn her back on me and scold
