Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Be siud a bhriogais uallach ho ri um bi That was some pair of trousers
Briogais an duin' uasail ho ri um bo The gentleman's trousers
Nuair a chuir mi suas i ho ri um bi When I wore them
'S ioma duin' a chual' e nach robh na coir Many a fellow who heard was never near it
   
Chaidh mi chun an taillear ho ri um bi I went to the tailor
Feuch an toir e pairt dhi ho ri um bo To see if he would take them in
Thuirt e airson paigheadh ho ri um bi He said he could, for a fee
'San a rinn mi gaire le na h-innte chloimh I just laughed at all the cloth that was used
   
Be siud a bhriogais uallach ho ri um bi That was some pair of trousers
Briogais an duin' uasail ho ri um bo The gentleman's trousers
Nuair a chuir mi suas i ho ri um bi When I wore them
'S ioma duin' a chual' e nach robh na coir Many a fellow who heard was never near it
   
Hai o na h-eireagan Hai o the pullets
Na h-eireagan, na h-eireagan The pullets, the pullets
Hai o na h-eireagan Hai o the pullets
Nach aighear mar a dh'fhalbh iad Isn't it strange how they disappeared
Hai o na h-eireagan Hai o the pullets
Na h-eireagan, na h-eireagan The pullets, the pullets
Hai o na h-eireagan Hai o the pullets
Nach aighear mar a dh'fhalbh iad Isn't it strange how they disappeared
   
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann Bill had pullets there
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann Bill had pullets there
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann Bill had pullets there
S ticket air an earball With tickets on their tails
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann Bill had pullets there
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann Bill had pullets there
Bha eireagan aig Bill ann Bill had pullets there
S ticket air an earball With tickets on their tails
   
Hai o na h-eireagan Hai o the pullets
Na h-eireagan, na h-eireagan The pullets, the pullets
Hai o na h-eireagan Hai o the pullets
Nach aighear mar a dh'fhalbh iad Isn't it strange how they disappeared
Hai o na h-eireagan Hai o the pullets
Na h-eireagan, na h-eireagan The pullets, the pullets
Hai o na h-eireagan Hai o the pullets
Nach aighear mar a dh'fhalbh iad Isn't it strange how they disappeared
