Biodh an Deoch Seo 'n Làimh Mo Rùin(original) |
| Òladh neo na òladh càch i |
| Biodh i làn aig ceann a' bhùird |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Deoch slàinte le fear an tùir |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Chunnacas bàt' air an fhairge |
| 'S an làimh dhearg air an stiùir |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Deoch slàinte le fear an tùir |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Chunnaic mi dol seach' an caol i |
| 'S badan fraoich 's an t-slait shiùil |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Deoch slàinte le fear an tùir |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Fhir a chunnaic air an t-sàil i |
| Beannaich an long bhàn 's a criùdh' |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Deoch slàinte le fear an tùir |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Beannaich a cruinn àrd 's a h-acfhuinn |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Deoch slàinte le fear an tùir |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| A cuid acraichean 's a siùil |
| Ged a tha mi 'n seo an Colla |
| B' e mo thoil a dhol a Rùm |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Deoch slàinte le fear an tùir |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Agus as a sin a dh' Uibhist |
| Nan d' fhuair mi mo ghuidhe leam |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| Deoch slàinte le fear an tùir |
| Biodh an deoch seo 'n làimh mo rùin |
| (translation) |
| Whether or not others drank it |
| It would be full at the head of the table |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Toast to the man of the tower |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| A boat was seen at sea |
| With the red hand at the helm |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Toast to the man of the tower |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| I saw her go beyond the strait |
| And tufts of heather and the sailing-rod |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Toast to the man of the tower |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Men who saw her at the heel |
| Bless the white ship and her crew ' |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Toast to the man of the tower |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Bless her high mast and her harness |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Toast to the man of the tower |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Her anchors and her sails |
| Although I am here in Coll |
| I would like to go to Rum |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Toast to the man of the tower |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| And from there to Uist |
| If I got my wish with me |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
| Toast to the man of the tower |
| May this drink be in my love's hand |
