Nighean na cailliche crotaiche crùbaich
| Nighean na cailliche crotaiche, crùbaich | The grumpy, hump-backed lame old wife's daughter |
| Thionndadh i cùl is throideadh i rium | Would turn her back to me and scold |
| Bhreabadh i casan mu seach air an ùlar | She would stamp her feet, turn about on the floor |
| Thionndadh i cùl is throideadh i rium | She'd turn her back on me and scold |
| Nighean na cailliche crotaiche, crùbaich | The grumpy, hump-backed lame old wife's daughter |
| Thionndadh i cùl is throideadh i rium | Would turn her back to me and scold |
| Bhreabadh i casan mu seach air an ùlar | She would stamp her feet, turn about on the floor |
| Thionndadh i cùl is throideadh i rium | She'd turn her back on me and scold |
| Thionndadh i cùlaibh, bhreabadh i 'n t-ùlar | She'd turn her back to me and stamp the floor |
| Thionndadh i cùlaibh 's throideadh i rium | She'd turn her back to me and scold me |
| Thionndadh i cùlaibh, bhreabadh i 'n t-ùlar | She'd turn her back to me and stamp the floor |
| Thionndadh i cùlaibh 's throideadh i rium | She'd turn her back to me and scold me |
| Thionndadh i cùlaibh, bhreabadh i 'n t-ùlar | She'd turn her back to me and stamp the floor |
| Thionndadh i cùlaibh 's throideadh i rium | She'd turn her back to me and scold me |
| O nighean na cailliche 's miosa anns an dùthaich | Oh daughter of the worse old hag in the land |
| Thionndadh i cùlaibh 's throideadh i rium | She'd turn her back to me and scold me |
