|
Òladh neo na òladh càch i
|
Whether he or the others were drinking
|
|
Biodh i làn aig ceann a' bhùird
|
There would still be plenty on the table

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin
|
The drink would be in my love's hand
|
|
Deoch slàinte le fear an tùir
|
Here's a health to the chief
|
|
Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin
|
The drink would be in my love's hand
|
|
|
|
|
Chunnacas bàt' air an fhairge
|
A boat was seen on the waves
|
|
'S an làimh dhearg air an stiùir
|
And the red hand at the helm
|
|
|
|
|
Chunnaic mi dol seach' an caol i
|
I saw it passing through the straits
|
|
'S badan fraoich 's an t-slait shiùil
|
With a clump of heather on the sail-yard
|
|
|
|
|
Fhir a chunnaic air an t-sàil i
|
You who saw her out at sea
|
|
Beannaich an long bhàn 's a criùdh'
|
Bless the fair ship and her crew
|
|
|
|
|
Beannaich a cruinn àrd 's a h-acfhuinn
|
Bless her high masts and her equipment
|
|
A cuid acraichean 's a siùil
|
Her moorings and her sails
|
|
|
|
|
Ged a tha mi 'n seo an Colla
|
Though I am here in Coll
|
|
B' e mo thoil a dhol a Rùm
|
I long to go to Rhum
|
|
|
|
|
Agus as a sin a dh' Uibhist
|
And from there to Uist
|
|
Nan d' fhuair mi mo ghuidhe leam
|
Were I to get my wish
|
