|
Ruighleadh giomach ri crubaig
|
The lobster shall reel with the crab
|
|
Agus crubag ris a ghiomach
|
And the crab with the lobster
|
|
Gun dannsadh giomach ri crubag
|
The lobster shall dance with the crab
|
|
'S gun ruighleadh iad ri grunnd na mara
|
And they shall reel underneath the ocean
|
|
|
|
|
Ruighleadh giomach ri crubaig
|
The lobster shall reel with the crab
|
|
Agus crubag ris a ghiomach
|
And the crab with the lobster
|
|
Gun dannsadh crubag ri crubag
|
The crab shall dance with the crab
|
|
'S gun seatadh an giomach carach
|
And the lobster's steps will be whirling
|
|

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Ruighleamaid is dannsamaid
|
We'll reel and dance
|
|
'S gu seatamaid 's gum biomaid math air
|
We'll dance and we'll be good at it
|
|
Ruighleamaid le iongnan grinn
|
We'll dance with tidy nails
|
|
Ri guth ro bhinn na maighdean mhara
|
To the sweet voice of the mermaid
|
|
Dannsamaid is ruighleamaid
|
We'll dance and we'll reel
|
|
Is seataidh sinn gun toir sinn fairis
|
We'll dance and we'll be good at it
|
|
Ars' an giomach ris a' chrubaig
|
Said the lobster to the crab
|
|
'S iad a' danns' air grunnd na mara
|
As they danced at the bottom of the ocean
|
|
|
|
|
"Ah," ars' an giomach ris an fhidhleir
|
"Ah," said the lobster to the fiddler
|
|
Crosgag a bha glan agus binn air
|
Who was a starfish and played superbly
|
|
Tha bhogha 's na teudan a' sgiamhail
|
His screaming body and tenticles
|
|
'S a' sgreuchail mar bheathach allaidh
|
Screeching like a werewolf
|
|
|
|
|
'S thionndaidh a' chrubag ris an drumair
|
The crab turned to the drummer
|
|
Ochd chasach a bha cumail buille
|
Who kept the rhythm with his eight feet
|
|
"Cha chum mo chasan riut tuilleadh
|
"I cannot keep up with you any longer
|
|
Chan urrain dhomh aon cheum nas fhaide"
|
I'm exhausted"
|
|
|
|
|
Cha sgaoth de sgadan anns a' choisir
|
There was a choir of herring
|
|
Agus rionnach a' seinn comhla
|
The mackerel joined in
|
|
Bha trosgag is adag is ron ann
|
The starfish, haddock and seal
|
|
A' cumail fonn air grunnd na mara
|
Sang at the bottom of the ocean
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
