| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| 'Sa gheala nam bothan nam bothan | Oh the white one of the bothies |
| Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam | Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
| 'S hala ham de han an doicheam | 'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
| Bothan a bh'aig Fionnghuala | The bothy that was Fionnaghuala's |
| 'Sa gheala nam bothan nam bothan | Oh the white one of the bothies |
| Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam | Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam |
| 'S hala ham de han an doicheam | 'S hala ham de han an doicheam |
| Bothan a bh'aig Fionnghuala | The bothy that was Fionnaghuala's |
| Thuirt an gobha, "Fuirighidh mi" | The blacksmith said, "I'll wait" |
| 'S thuirt an gobha, "Falbhaidh mi" | The blacksmith said, "I'll go" |
| Thuirt an gobha, leis an othail | The blacksmith said, in his confusion |
| A bh'air an doras an t-sabhail | In the door of the barn |
| Gu rachadh e a shuirghe | That he would go courting |
| Bheirinn fead air fulmairean | I'd knock spots off the fulmars |
| Bheirinn fead air falmairean | I'd knock spots off the hakes |
| Liuthannan beaga na mara | The little lythe of the sea |
| Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn | We'd spend a while hauling them |
| Na maireadh na duirrgh dhuinn | If our hand-lines lasted |
