Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Saoil a Mhòr am pòs thu?
|
Morag, do you think you'll marry?
|
|
Saoil am pòs thu Fiullaigean?
|
Do you think you'll marry Fiullaigean?
|
|
Saoil a Mhòr am pòs thu?
|
Morag, do you think you'll marry?
|
|
Theireadh gu leòr nach b' urrainn dhut
|
Plenty would say that you couldn't
|
|
|
|
|
'S beag a bha dùil aig do mhàthair
|
Little did your mother think
|
|
Gur h-ann do dh' Arnol a chuirt' thu
|
That you would be sent to Arnol
|
|
An deidh cho grinn 's a bha thu
|
After how skillful you were
|
|
Air do shnàthaid mhuslin
|
With your muslin needle
|
|
|
|
|
Ged a bha Fiullaigean spàgach
|
Although Fiullaigean was heavy-footed
|
|
Dheanadh e ceàrd a h-uile fir
|
He could turn his hand to anything
|
|
Chuireadh e craobh ann an gàradh
|
He would plant a tree in the garden
|
|
Chuireadh e càl is curranan
|
He would plant cabbages and carrots
|
|
|
|
|
Thog e tigh-geal ann an Arnol
|
He built a white house in Arnol
|
|
Anns an robh àird' neo-chumanta
|
Of unusual height
|
|
Staidhrichean cama le sgàthain
|
A winding, mirrored staircase
|
|
Chun an ruim àird' aig Fiullaigean
|
Up to Fiullaigean's top room
|
|
|
|
|
'Nuair a thig luingeas na bàn-righ
|
When the Queen's ship comes
|
|
Nall air an t-sàl le gunnachan
|
Over the sea with its guns
|
|
Thig iad a steach a Loch Arnoil
|
They will sail up Loch Arnol
|
|
Dh' fhaighneachd càit' eil Fiullaigean
|
To ask where Fiullaigean is
|
|
|
|
|
Thainig litir a nall as an Fhraing
|
A letter came over from France
|
|
Is t' eile nall á Ruisia
|
And another over from Russia
|
|
Paipearan feadh na Roinn-Eòrp'
|
Newspapers all over Europe
|
|
Ag innseadh mu phòsadh Fhiullaigein
|
Telling of Fiullaigean's wedding
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
