Bidh Eòghainn is fear a’ chiubha is fear an rubha cuide rinn; (’s fear an rubha?)
Bidh Eòghainn is fear a’ chiubha is fear an rubha cuide rinn;
Bidh Eòghainn is fear a’ chiubha is fear an rubha cuide rinn;
Bidh Eòghainn is fear a’ chiubha is fear an rubha laimh rinn.
’S ann bha ’n othail aig an fhadhail, bodaich odhar Hoghaigearraidh;
’S ann bha ’n othail aig an fhadhail, bodaich odhar Hoghaigearraidh;
’S ann bha ‘n othail aig an fhadhail, bodaich odhar Hoghaigearraidh,
Thug iad aghaidh air na fir à Malacleit is Bhàlaigh.
Bidh Fionnlagh ’s an gille pìob dol san ruidhle iollagach;
Bidh Fionnlagh ’s an gille pìob dol san ruidhle iollagach;
Bidh Fionnlagh ’s an gille pìob dol san ruidhle iollagach,
Bidh Tormod ’s an gobha bodhar dol a thogail bhàirneach.
Bidh Eubhal is Teach an Triubhais an dà Uibhist muladach;
Bidh Eubhal is Teach an Triubhais an dà Uibhist muladach;
Bidh Eubhal is Teach an Triubhais an dà Uibhist muladach,
Dorghais is Beinn a’ Charra cur an cath an òrdugh.
Eoghainn, Fear a’ Chiubha and Fear a’ Rubha will be with us
Eoghainn, Fear a’ Chiubha and Fear a’ Rubha will be beside us.
What a commotion there was at the ford, the dun-coloured old men of Hoghaigearraidh
They challenged the men from Malacleit and Bhalaigh.
Fionnlagh and the piper’s assistant will dance a sprightly reel
Tormod and the deaf blacksmith will go to pick limpets.
Eubhal, Teach an Triubhais, the two Uists will be forlorn
Dorghais and Beinn a’ Charra drawing the battle-lines.
