'S na hóró laoi leó Seinn óro nàilibh 'S na hóró laoi leó
Seann duine cha ghabh cha ghabh mi Bidh e fada 'g èirigh Fada dol 'na eudach Fada fada ri cuir uime Cha ghabh mise ludar bodaich Cha tèid e mach gun am bata Cha tig e steach gun an casda Saoilidh e gur geòidh na cearcan Saoilidh e gur caoraich clachan Saoilidh e gur bò na h-eachaibh.
I shan't marry an old man
'S na hóró laoi leó Seinn óro nàilibh 'S na hóró laoi leó
An old man, I will definitely not have He is late to rise Takes a long time to dress A long, long time to get his clothes on I shan't have a clumsy old man He can't go out without a walking stick He can't come in without a cough He mistakes hens for geese He mistakes stones for sheep And horses for cows.
