Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Air fà lì leó
|
Air fà lì leó
|
|
Horo ghealladh éile
|
Horo ghealladh éile
|
|
Air fà lì leó
|
Air fà lì leó
|
|
|
|
|
'S mise seo 's tha mulad orm
|
I am here with sadness
|
|
|
|
|
Ch-uile h-aon a' pòsadh
|
Everyone is marrying
|
|
|
|
|
'S mise seo gun phòsadh fhathast
|
I am still here unmarried
|
|
|
|
|
Fuireach ann am ònar
|
Staying by myself
|
|
|
|
|
Seann duine cha ghabh mi idir
|
An old man I shall not have
|
|
|
|
|
Bidh e fada 'g éirigh
|
He will be long arising
|
|
|
|
|
Fada 'cuir a churrag air
|
Long putting his cap on
|
|
|
|
|
Fada 'dol na éideadh
|
Long putting his clothes on
|
|
|
|
|
Cha téid e mach gun am bata
|
He won't go out without his stick
|
|
|
|
|
Cha tig e steach gun an ad air
|
He won't come in without his hat on
|
|
|
|
|
Saoilidh e gur geòidh na cearcan
|
He thinks hens are geese
|
|
|
|
|
Saoilidh e gur caoraich creagan
|
He thinks sheep are the rocks
|
|
|
|
|
Saoilidh e gur luchainn lachan
|
He thinks the duck is a mouse
|
|
|
|
|
Saoilidh e gur siùcar sneachda
|
He thinks the snow is sugar
|
|
|
|
|
Saoilidh e gur làir a' searrach
|
He thinks the foal is a mare
|
|
|
|
|
B'annsa balach sgiobalt dhomh
|
A smart young mand would be more acceptable
|
|
|
|
|
Thogadh is a leagadh mi
|
Who would lift me up and lay me down
|
|
|
|
|
Thogadh mi á féithe
|
Who would lift me out of a bog
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
