Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
B'aighearach an uiridh mi Wasn't I happy last year
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
'N sabhal Iain 'ic Uisdein In Iain 'ic Uisdein's barn
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
B'aighearach an uiridh mi Wasn't I happy last year
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
'N sabhal Iain 'ic Uisdein In Iain 'ic Uisdein's barn
   
Nuair thòisich ruidhle nam pòg When the reel of kisses began
Siud far an robh 'n cridhealas There was the cheerfulness
Chluinnte farum am bròg The thunder of their shoes could be heard
Ann am Bail' an Tùra In Bail' an Tura
Nuair thòisich ruidhle nam pòg When the reel of kisses began
Siud far an robh 'n cridhealas There was the cheerfulness
Chluinnte farum am bròg The thunder of their shoes could be heard
Ann am Bail' an Tùra In Bail' an Tura
   
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
B'aighearach an uiridh mi Wasn't I happy last year
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
'N sabhal Iain 'ic Uisdein In Iain 'ic Uisdein's barn
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
B'aighearach an uiridh mi Wasn't I happy last year
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
'N sabhal Iain 'ic Uisdein In Iain 'ic Uisdein's barn
   
Pòg a Chalum a' Rubha A kiss for Calum from the Point
Pòg dhan a h-uile fear A kiss for every man
Pòg a Chalum a' Rubha A kiss for Calum from the Point
Dh'fhear Rubha 'n Dùnain And for the man from Rubh' an Dùnain
Pòg a Chalum a' Rubha A kiss for Calum from the Point
Pòg dhan a h-uile fear A kiss for every man
Pòg a Chalum a' Rubha A kiss for Calum from the Point
Dh'fhear Rubha 'n Dùnain And for the man from Rubh' an Dùnain
   
Ciamar a nì mi an dannsa dìreach? How can I do the dance correctly?
Ciamar a nì mi a' ruidhle bòidheach? How can I do the dance neatly?
