Amadan gòrach gòrach |
Silly, silly fool |
|
Amadan gòrach saighdear |
Silly fool of a soldier |
|
Amadan gòrach gòrach |
Silly, silly fool |
|
Chunna mi 'g òl a-raoir thu |
I saw you drinking last night |
|
Amadan gòrach gòrach |
Silly, silly fool |
|
Amadan gòrach saighdear |
Silly fool of a soldier |

Chunna mi 'g òl a-raoir thu |
I saw you drinking last night |
| |
|
|
Chunna mi gabhail an rathaid thu |
I saw you walking the road |
|
Le d' uile ball airm a' stroighlich |
With all your gear clattering |
|
Thu gearan na rathad a bhith garbh |
Complaining that the road was rough |
|
Ach, a bhalaich, 's ann bha e r' aimleathan |
But, my lad, it was too narrow |
|
Chunna mi gabhail an rathaid thu |
I saw you walking the road |
|
Le d' uile ball airm a' stroighlich |
With all your gear clattering |
|
Thu gearan na rathad a bhith garbh |
Complaining that the road was rough |
|
Ach, a bhalaich, 's ann bha e r' aimleathan |
But, my lad, it was too narrow |
| |
