Cò a sheinneas an fhideag airgid? |
Who will sound the silver whistle? |

Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Ho ro hu o hu ill eò |
Ho ro hu o hu ill eò |

Hi ri ill iù eò, hi ri ill iù eò |
Hi ri ill iù eò, hi ri ill iù eò |

|
Mac mo righ-sa tighinn a dh'Alba |
When the son of my king comes to Scotland |
| |
|
|
Air luing mhòir nar tri chrann airgid |
In the great ship of three silver masts |
| |
|
|
'S a chur fàilt air Mac 'ic Ailein |
And welcomes Clanranald |
| |
|
|
'S air Mac Dhomhnaill Mhòir o'n Cheapaich |
And Big MacDonald of Keppoch |
| |
|
|
'S chuireadh iad Righ Seòras dhachaidh |
They will send King George back home |
| |
|
|
Do Hanòbhar a null fairis |
To Hanover over there |
| |
|
|
'S co a sheinneas an fhideag airgid? |
And who will sound the silver whistle? |
| |
|
|
Cò theireadh nach seinninn fhin i? |
Who would say that we wouldn't play it ourselves? |
