Null thar nan eileanan

Sèist: Chorus:
A-null thar nan eileanan Over the islands
Dh'Aimeireaga gun tèid sinn To America we will go
A-null thar nan eileanan Over the islands
Dh'Aimeireaga gun tèid sinn To America we will go
A-null thar nan eileanan Over the islands
Dh'Aimeireaga gun tèid sinn To America we will go
A-null rathad Shasainn Over via England
Agus dhachaigh rathad Èirinn And home via Ireland
   
B'e siud am port a bh'againne That was our tune
Dol seachad air Dun Èideann Passing Edinburgh
B'e siud am port a bh'againne That was our tune
Dol seachad air Dun Èideann Passing Edinburgh
B'e siud am port a bh'againne That was our tune
Dol seachad air Dun Èideann Passing Edinburgh
A-null rathad Shasainn Over via England
Agus dhachaigh rathad Èirinn And home via Ireland
   
Bha pìoban gan spreigeadh The pipers were blown up
Agus feadanan gan gleusadh And the chanters were tuned
Bha pìoban gan spreigeadh The pipers were blown up
Agus feadanan gan gleusadh And the chanters were tuned
Bha pìoban gan spreigeadh The pipers were blown up
Agus feadanan gan gleusadh And the chanters were tuned
A h-uile fear le ìt' na bhonaid Each man with a feather in his bonnet
Sporain air is fèileadh A sporan and a kilt
   
B'e siud na gillean togarrach They were lively lads
B'e siud na gillean èibhinn They were amusing lads
B'e siud na gillean togarrach They were lively lads
B'e siud na gillean èibhinn They were amusing lads
B'e siud na gillean togarrach They were lively lads
B'e siud na gillean èibhinn They were amusing lads
B'e siud na gillean sgiobalta They were nimble lads
Is b'iullagach an ceuman With frolicsome steps
   
Mun dh'fhàg sinn crìochan Shasainn Before we left the English borders
Agus dhealaich sinn ri chèile And parted from each other
Mun dh'fhàg sinn crìochan Shasainn Before we left the English borders
Agus dhealaich sinn ri chèile And parted from each other
Mun dh'fhàg sinn crìochan Shasainn Before we left the English borders
Agus dhealaich sinn ri chèile And parted from each other
Gun b'aighearach na caileagan The girls were lively
A' crathadh an cuid bhrèidean Shaking their braids
