Cailleach liath Ratharsaigh Gray-haired old woman from Raasay
Na ceudan a' tathaich oirre Hundreds calling on her
Cailleach liath Ratharsaigh Gray-haired old woman from Raasay
Is cailleach reamhar Rònaigh And the fat old woman from Rona
Cailleach liath Ratharsaigh Gray-haired old woman from Raasay
Na ceudan a' tathaich oirre Hundreds calling on her
Cailleach liath Ratharsaigh Gray-haired old woman from Raasay
Is cailleach reamhar Rònaigh And the fat old woman from Rona
   
Cailleach dhubh nan cudaigean The black-haired woman of the cuddies
'S iomadh gin a shluig thu dhiubh You swallowed many of them
Cailleach dhubh nan cudaigean The black-haired woman of the cuddies
Is cailleach luideach Rònaigh The messy old woman from Rona
Cailleach dhubh nan cudaigean The black-haired woman of the cuddies
'S iomadh gin a shluig thu dhiubh You swallowed many of them
Cailleach dhubh nan cudaigean The black-haired woman of the cuddies
Is cailleach luideach Rònaigh The messy old woman from Rona

Cailleach liath Shligeachan Gray-haired old woman from Sligeachan
