Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Bi Màiri Ruadh a'dannsa an nochd
|
Red-haired Mary will be dancing tonight
|
|
Dannsa gu madainn mhoch
|
Dancing until early morning
|
|
Bi Màiri Ruadh a'dannsa an nochd
|
Red-haired Mary will be dancing tonight
|
|
Nuair chluinneas i'n druma bualadh
|
When she hears the drum beating
|
|
|
|
|
Di-luain, di-mairt, di-ciadain, Diardaoin
|
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
|
|
Obair-thràilleil, 's obair chruaidh
|
Slavish work, hard work
|
|
Ach nuair a thig oidhche Di-haoin'
|
But when Friday comes 'round
|
|
Bi Màiri Ruadh a'dannsa
|
Red-haired Mary will be dancing
|
|
|
|
|
Coma leat leabaidh, 's coma leat sìth
|
You care nothing for bedtime, you care nothing for peace
|
|
Tha ceòl near anam 's ceòl nar crídh'
|
The music in our souls and the music in our hearts
|
|
'S leanaidh sinn dlùth tro' shràidean Phort-Righ
|
And we'll follow closely through the streets of Portree
|
|
Cas-cheum a' chòmhlain
|
The footsteps of the band
|
|
|
|
|
Gleus a' phìob, 's gleus an fhidheall
|
Tune the pipes, tune the fiddle
|
|
Caismeachd, 's ruibhle, 's piurt chrídheil
|
A march and a reel and a lively tune
|
|
Sios tro'n bhaile bi sinn a triall
|
Down through the town we'll go
|
|
Is Màiri Ruadh a'dannsa
|
And Red-haired Mary dancing
|
|
|
|
|
Di-luain, di-mairt, di-ciadain, Diardaoin
|
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday
|
|
Obair-thràilleil, 's obair chruaidh
|
Slavish work, hard work
|
|
Ach nuair a thig oidhche Di-haoin'
|
But when Friday comes 'round
|
|
Bi Màiri Ruadh a'dannsa
|
Red-haired Mary will be dancing
|
