Sèist: Chorus:
Bhean an tighe, fàg an siola Oh woman of the house, leave the gill
'M botul làn a tha mi sireadh It is the full bottle that I'm seeking
Dh'òlainn deoch-slàinte nan gillean I would drink a toast to the young men
A dh'imich Di-Luain bhuainn Who left us on Monday
   
Chruinnich còmhlan cridheil, ùrail A company gathered who were merry, fresh
Fonnmhor, farumach, glan, cùirteil Tuneful, loud, fine and courteous
'S gur e dh' fhàg mi trom fo chùram The thing that has left me disturbed
An luchd-ciùil bhith bhuapa Is the we have no musicians
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Gu'n robh feadhainn as gach àit ann There were some from everywhere
Fir á Sestico 's á Màbou People from Port Hood and Mabou
Fir á Siùdaig nam beann àrda People from Judique, of the tall mountains
Bhiodh làmhach 's a' chruadal Who would be adroit in adversity
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Cha robh bhuainn an sin ach fìdhlear All we needed then was a fiddler
Leis an gluaiseamaid 's an ruìdhle To whom we would move in a reel
'S e bhith cur earbsa á trì dhiubh Waiting for the three we expected
Chuir mi fhìn cho luaineach Made me anxious for music
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Labhair Donnchadh le guth àrd ruinn Duncan called out in loud voice
"O' n a tha luchd-ciùil anns a' Bhràighe "Since we have musicians in Margaree
Falbhaidh mise leis an làir I will go with the mare
'S thig Peadar Dhaibhidh nuas leam" And Peter David will come back with me"
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
