|
Chan urrainn dhomh a bhith ag innse dhuibh
|
I cannot make up my mind
|
|
Gu de a cheard a b'innealt leam
|
Which profession I'd prefer
|
|
Oir b'fhearr leam a bhith nam phiobaire
|
I'd rather be a piper
|
|
Ri piobaireachd 'sa chomhstri
|
Than strive for it
|
|

Nam bithinn na mo thuathanach
|
If I was a farmer
|
|
Nam bithinn na mo thuathanach
|
If I was a farmer
|
|
Nam bithinn na mo thuathanach
|
If I was a farmer
|
|
Gun speallainn sguaban eorna
|
I'd sythe sheaves of corn
|
|
Gun ceangaillinn suas gu snasail iad
|
I'd tie them up smartly
|
|
Is chuirinn air an casan iad
|
Stand them up in orderly fashion
|
|
Gan sgioblachadh nan adagan
|
Tidy them as shocks of corn
|
|
Nan sreathan gasda comhnard

Nam bithinn na mo bhreabadair

If I was a weaver

Nam bithinn na mo bhreabadair

Nam bithinn na mo bhreabadair

Gun fithinn plaid' is clo dhut
|
I'd knit you a plaid of tweed
|
|
Gun fithinn breacan dathach dhut
|
I'd knit you a colorful
|
|
Le dluth is cur cho ealanta
|
Elegant tartan
|
|
Le feileadh beag mud asnaichean
|
A small kilt
|
|
'S ann ort a bhitheadh a mhor chuis
|
To make you feel proud to wear
