An tèid thu leam a Mhàiri lurach? Will you go with me, dear Mary?
Falbh thu leam a Mhàiri lurach? Will you leave with me, dear Mary?
Tiugainn, tiugainn às seo buileach I know that we will be utterly cast out
Chan fhaod sinn fuireach chon a Bhàilidh We can’t wait for the Factor.
Tha mo cheann an dèidh lathadh My hair is gray
‘S mi còrr ‘s trì fichead bliadhna I am more than 60 years old
Saoil sibh pèin nach e tha cinanail Don’t you think it is shameful
I gam chur am bliadhn’ às m’àite That she is putting me out this year
An tèid thu leam a Mhàiri lurach? Will you go with me, dear Mary?
Falbh thu leam a Mhàiri lurach? Will you leave with me, dear Mary?
Tiugainn, tiugainn às seo buileach I know that we will be utterly cast out
Chan fhaod sinn fuireach chon a Bhàilidh We can’t wait for the Factor.
Thèid ar sgaphadh feadh na dùthcha We will be scattered all over the country
Mas gus sgaoilear ceò on fhùdar Like the smoke from the gunpowder
Nuair a thig na fir gar n-ionnsaigh When the men come to attack us
A’ maor ùr is Iain Tàilleir The new warden is Iain the Tailor.
An tèid thu leam a Mhàiri lurach? Will you go with me, dear Mary?
Falbh thu leam a Mhàiri lurach? Will you leave with me, dear Mary?
Tiugainn, tiugainn às seo buileach I know that we will be utterly cast out
Chan fhaod sinn fuireach chon a Bhàilidh We can’t wait for the Factor.
