Lyrics

I bhì à dà, ù à iodailean;
I bhì à dà, adail iodail ù-an.
Ciamar a ruidhleas mo nighean
‘S dithis às a’rathad oirre?
Ciamar a ruidhleas mo nighean,
‘S ceathrair air an ùrlar.
‘S ioma rud a chunna mi,
‘S ioma rud a rinn mi;
‘S ioma rud a chunna mise
A-muigh air feadh na h-oidhche.
Chunna mi na cudaigean,
Na cudaigean, na cudaigean;
Chunna mi na cudaigean
A’cluich air allt na muilleadh.
Chunna mi na piseagan,
Na piseagan, na piseagan;
Chunna mi na piseagan,
Air spiris bean an t-saighdeir.

Lyrics translation

And bhì from two, y z from iodail details;
And bhì from two, adail iodail y z-in.
How ruidhlidh my daughter
The two of a'road it?
How ruidhlidh my daughter,
In ceathrair on the floor.
The multi thing I saw,
The multi thing I did;
The multi thing I saw
Outside throughout the night.
I saw the cudaigean,
The cudaigean, the cudaigean;
I saw the cudaigean
A'played on a brook, the sawmill would.
I saw the improvement in,
The improvement in sales, the improvement in;
I saw the improvement in,
On is king of a small house-of a soldier.
