Hùg air a' bhonaid mhòir

Hùg air a' bhonaid mhòir Celebrate the great bonnet
Cuiribh oirre 's leigibh leatha Add to it, leave it alone
Tuilleadh air a' bhonaid eile More on the other bonnet
Chan eil leth gu leòr oirre There's not half enough on it
Hùg air a' bhonaid mhòir Celebrate the great bonnet
Cuiribh oirre 's leigibh leatha Add to it, leave it alone
Tuilleadh air a' bhonaid eile More on the other bonnet
Chan eil leth gu leòr oirre There's not half enough on it
   
Bhonaid a bh' aig Dòmhnall Bàn Donald Ban's bonnet
Ann an Bothalam na tàmh Is to be found in Bothalam
Bha i uiread ris an spàrr It was as high as the roof joist
B' àird' i na lòban Higher than the corn-stack frame
Bhonaid a bh' aig Dòmhnall Bàn Donald Ban's bonnet
Ann an Bothalam na tàmh Is to be found in Bothalam
Bha i uiread ris an spàrr It was as high as the roof joist
B' àird' i na lòban Higher than the corn-stack frame
