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

Ho ro hu a hu il o |

Mac mo righ air tighinn a dh'Alba |
Now that my King's son has come to Scotland |
| |
|
|
Air lang mhor air bharr na fairge |
On a great ship across the waves |
| |
|
|
Air long riomhach nam ball airgid |
On a stately ship with silver rigging |
| |
|
|
Tearlach og nan gorm shuil mealach |
Young Charles of the beguiling blue eyes |
| |
|
|
Failte, failte mian is clui dhuit |
Welcome, welcome, love and renown to you |
| |
|
|
Fidhleireachd is ragha a'uil dhuit |
Playing of fiddles and the choicest of music for you |
| |
|
|
Co a sheinneas an fhideag airigid |
Who will sound the silver whistle? |
| |
|
|
Co a sheinneadh? Nach seinninn fhin i? |
Who is to say that I will not sound it myself? |
