Hùg air a’ Bhonaid Mhòir

Hùg air a’ bhonaid mhòir,
Cuiribh oirre ’s leigibh leatha;
Tuilleadh air a’ bhonaid eile,
Chan eil leth gu leòr oirre.

Bhonaid a bh’ aig Dòmhnall Bàn
Ann an Bothalam na tàmh,
Bha i uiread ris an spàrr,
B’ àird’ i na lòban.

Da Thàbh air an Fharaidh

Da thàbh air an fharaidh, [bad word] shìos anns a’ charaidh;
Da thàbh air an fharaidh, [bad word] aig an fhaoileig.

Ged tha mi [bad word] agam, [bad word] shios anns a’ charaidh;
Ged tha mi [bad word] agam, [bad word] aig an fhaoileig.

Celebrate the great bonnet!

Celebrate the great bonnet!
Add to it, leave it alone.
More on the other bonnet.
There’s not half enough on it.

Donald Ban’s bonnet
is to be found in Bothalam.
It was as high as the roof joist, 
higher than the corn-stack frame.

Two Spoon Nets in the Loft

Two spoon nets in the loft,
There’s something in the fish-trap;
Two spoon-nets in the loft,
The seagull has a catch.

Although I’m empty-handed,
There’s something in the fish trap;
Although I’m empty handed,
The seagull has a catch.
