Co a sheinneas an fhideag airigid |
Who will play the silver whistle? |

Ho ro hu a hu il o |

Mac mo righ air tighinn a dh'Alba |
Since the son of my king has come to Scotland |
|
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
|
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
| |

Air lang mhar nar tri chrann airgid |
On a great ship with three masts of silver |
|
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
|
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
| |

Air long riomhach nam ball airgid |
On the handsome vessel with the silver rigging |
|
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
|
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
| |

Tearlach og nan gorm shuil mealach |
Young Charles with the blue bewitching eyes |
|
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
Ho ro hu a hu il o |

Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
| |

Failte, failte mian is clui dhuit |
Welcome, welcome, may you be desired and famous |

Fidhleireachd is ragha a'uil dhuit |
May there be fiddling and the choicest music before you |
|
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
Ho ro hu a hu il o |

Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |

Co a sheinneadh? Nach seinninn fhin i? |
Who'd play it? Who'd say that I'd not play it myself? |
|
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
|
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |
Hi ri hu o, hi ri hu o |

Co a sheinneas an fhideag airigid |
Who will play the silver whistle? |

Ho ro hu a hu il o |
Ho ro hu a hu il o |
