Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Air fà lì leó |
Air fà lì leó |
|
Horo ghealladh éile |
Horo ghealladh éile |
|
Air fà lì leó |
Air fà lì leó |
| |
|
|
'S mise seo 's tha mulad orm |
I am here with sadness |
| |
|
|
Ch-uile h-aon a' pòsadh |
Everyone is marrying |
| |
|
|
'S mise seo gun phòsadh fhathast |
I am still here unmarried |
| |
|
|
Fuireach ann am ònar |
Staying by myself |
| |
|
|
Seann duine cha ghabh mi idir |
An old man I shall not have |
| |
|
|
Bidh e fada 'g éirigh |
He will be long arising |
| |
|
|
Fada 'cuir a churrag air |
Long putting his cap on |
| |
|
|
Fada 'dol na éideadh |
Long putting his clothes on |
| |
|
|
Cha téid e mach gun am bata |
He won't go out without his stick |
| |
|
|
Cha tig e steach gun an ad air |
He won't come in without his hat on |
| |
|
|
Saoilidh e gur geòidh na cearcan |
He thinks hens are geese |
| |
|
|
Saoilidh e gur caoraich creagan |
He thinks sheep are the rocks |
| |
|
|
Saoilidh e gur luchainn lachan |
He thinks the duck is a mouse |
| |
|
|
Saoilidh e gur siùcar sneachda |
He thinks the snow is sugar |
| |
|
|
Saoilidh e gur làir a' searrach |
He thinks the foal is a mare |
| |
|
|
B'annsa balach sgiobalt dhomh |
A smart young mand would be more acceptable |
| |
|
|
Thogadh is a leagadh mi |
Who would lift me up and lay me down |
| |
|
|
Thogadh mi á féithe |
Who would lift me out of a bog |
| |
|
|
(Sèist 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |
