Lyrics of An Fhideag Airgid - Karen Matheson

An Fhideag Airgid (original)

Co a sheinneas an fhideag airigid
Ho ro hu a hu il o
Mac mo righ air tighinn a dh’Alba
Air lang mhar nar tri chrann airgid
Air long riomhach nam ball airgid
Tearlach og nan gorm shuil mealach
Failte, failte mian is clui dhuit
Fidhleireachd is ragha a’uil dhuit
Co a chanadh nach seinninn fhin i

(translation)

Who blows the silver whistle
Ho ro hu a hu il o
My king's son has come to Scotland
On a sea lang of three silver trees
On a fine ship of silver balls
Young Charles with the honeyed blue eyes
Welcome, welcome wishes and fame
Fiddling is all you need
Who would say I wouldn't sing it myself
