Thuirt an gobha 'Fuirighidh mi'
'S thuirt an gobha, 'Falbhaidh mi'
Thuirt an gobha, leis an othail
A bh'air an doras an t-sabhail,
Gu rachadh e a shuirghe.

'Sa gheala ham bothan nam bothan
Pe ho ro bha hin an doicheam
'S hala ham de han an doicheam
Bothan a bh'aig Fionnghuala.

Bheirinn fead air fulmairean
Bheirinn fead air falmairean
Liuthannan beaga na mara
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn
Na maireadh na duirrgh dhuinn.

bothan (English translation)

The blacksmith said, "I'll wait"
The blacksmith said, "I'll go"
The blacksmith said, through his confusion
in the door of the barn
That he would go courting.
