James Graham - A' Bhriogais Uallach

Lyrics :	English Translation :

Sèist :	Chorus :
Leis a' bhriogas uallaich, horo-o hì	With the fantastic breeks, horo-o hi
Leis a' bhriogais uallaich, ho ri ho rò	With the fantastic breeks, ho ri ho ro
Briogais an duin' uasail, horo-o hì	The gentleman's breeks, horo-o hi
'S iomadh duine chual i nach robh na còir	Many a person heard of them that was not near them

(Sèist)	(Chorus)

Siod a' bhriogais fhasanta, horo-o hì	These were the trendy breeks
Bhriogais a bha agamsa, ho ri ho rò	The breeks that I had
Bha i muthas fada dhomh, ho ri ho rò	They were rather long
'S gad a chanainn farsaing air a h-uile dòigh	And I would say wide in every way

(Sèist)	(Chorus)

'S chaidh mi chun an tàillier, horo-o hì	I went to the tailor
'S gun gearradh e pàirt dhi, ho ri ho rò	That he would cut some of it
Thuirt e airson pàigheadh, horo-o hì	He said that for payment
Gun deanadh e dhà air na bh' innte chlò	He would make two from the amount of cloth

(Sèist)	(Chorus)

Cha robh innt ach diùbhaidh, horo-o hì	They were worthless
B' fharsuing anns a' chùl i, ho ri ho rò	They were wide in the back
Gad a rachadh triùir innt', horo-o hì	Though three people would go in them
Ghabhadh i co dhiùbh 'ad, gu brith an còrr	They would take them and more

(Sèist 2x)	(Chorus 2x)

Saoil nach robh i cunnartach, horo-o hì	Don't you think they were dangerous?
Nuair a chuir mi umam i, ho ri ho rò	When I put them on
Shaoil iad nach robh duin' innte, horo-o hì	People thought there was no one in them
Gus an cual 'ad bruidhinn agus thuirt iad "ò"	'Til they heard talking and said, "Aw"

(Sèist 3x)	(Chorus 3x)
