Lyrics: English Translation:
   
O ho na ribeannan Hurray for the ribbons
Na ribeannan, na ribeannan The ribbons, the ribbons
O ho na ribeannan Hurray for the ribbons
A thug an gille ruadh dhomh The red-haired lad gave me
O ho na ribeannan Hurray for the ribbons
Na ribeannan, na ribeannan The ribbons, the ribbons
O ho na ribeannan Hurray for the ribbons
A thug an gille ruadh dhomh The red-haired lad gave me
   
Faca sibh an currac ud Did you see that bit of headgear
Am fasan th'air a mhullach aig' With all the fashionable bits on the top of it
Ach 's ann tha fàth a' mhulaid aig That caused the lady that wore the hat
An té nach urrainn fhuasgladh Real pain in getting it off
Faca sibh an currac ud Did you see that bit of headgear
Am fasan th'air a mhullach aig' With all the fashionable bits on the top of it
Ach 's ann tha fàth a' mhulaid aig That caused the lady that wore the hat
An té nach urrainn fhuasgladh Real pain in getting it off
   
O ho na ribeannan Hurray for the ribbons
Na ribeannan, na ribeannan The ribbons, the ribbons
O ho na ribeannan Hurray for the ribbons
A thug an gille ruadh dhomh The red-haired lad gave me
O ho na ribeannan Hurray for the ribbons
Na ribeannan, na ribeannan The ribbons, the ribbons
O ho na ribeannan Hurray for the ribbons
A thug an gille ruadh dhomh The red-haired lad gave me
   
Faca sibh an currac ud Did you see that bit of headgear
Am fasan th'air a mhullach aig' With all the fashionable bits on the top of it
Ach 's ann tha fàth a' mhulaid aig That caused the lady that wore the hat
An té nach urrainn fhuasgladh Real pain in getting it off
Faca sibh an currac ud Did you see that bit of headgear
Am fasan th'air a mhullach aig' With all the fashionable bits on the top of it
Ach 's ann tha fàth a' mhulaid aig That caused the lady that wore the hat
An té nach urrainn fhuasgladh Real pain in getting it off
