Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Fear a bhios fada gun phòsadh On a man who is late in marrying
Fàsaidh feur is fraoch is fireach air Grass and heather and moorland plants will grow
Fear a bhios fada gun phòsadh On a man who is late in marrying
Fàsaidh feusag mhór air A great beard will grow
Fear a bhios fada gun phòsadh On a man who is late in marrying
Fàsaidh feur is fraoch is fireach air Grass and heather and moorland plants will grow
Fear a bhios fada gun phòsadh On a man who is late in marrying
Fàsaidh feusag mhór air A great beard will grow
   
Fàsaidh feur air, fàsaidh fraoch air Grass will grow, heather will grow
Fàsaidh feur is fraoch is fireach air Grass and heather and moorland plants will grow
Fàsaidh feur air, fàsaidh fraoch air Grass will grow, heather will grow
Fàsaidh feusag mhór air A great beard will grow
Fàsaidh feur air, fàsaidh fraoch air Grass will grow, heather will grow
Fàsaidh feur is fraoch is fireach air Grass and heather and moorland plants will grow
Fear a bhios fada gun phòsadh On a man who is late in marrying
Fàsaidh feusag mhór air A great beard will grow
