Air Fàil A Lail Ò

   Air fàil a lail ò, horò, air fàil a lail é
   Air fàil a lail ò, horò, air fàil a lail é
   Air fàil a lail ò, horò, air fàil a lail é
   Fail i, fail ò, horò, air fail a lail é
   
   A' bhuachaille bhàin mas aill leat labhairt air thùs
   Gur a leat-sa gun dàil mo làmh ma thig thu le mùirn
   Gur truagh mar a tha nach do thàrladh mise agus tu
   Ann an eilean gun tràigh, gun ràmh gun choite, gun stiùir
   
   Ma théid thu air sàil, a ghriadh bi gini 'ad' phòc'
   Is òl mo dheoch-slàint'gach àit an suidh thu mun bhòrd
   L d'chride geal, aotrom, éibhneach, aighearrach òg
   Gur toigh leam am beul o'm bìnn a thigeadh an ceòl
   
   Gur toigh leam an deud 's am beul nach labhradh le sgràing
   Bhi sinnte ri m' thaobh, a ghaoil nan tigeadh tu ann
   Mur bhiodh luchd nam breug bha m'eudail is mise gun taing
   Le òrdugh na cléir le chéile 'n ceangal gu lann
   
   Nach robh mis' is thu am beinn no monadh no sliabh
   No air an traigh bhàn an àite nach robh duine riamh
   Seachd oidhche, seachd là, gun tàmh gun chadal gun bhiadh
   Ach thus' a bhi 'ghràidh 's do làmh gheal tharam gu fial.
   
Ar Fa La La Lo

   Air fàil a lail ò, horò, air fàil a lail é
   Air fàil a lail ò, horò, air fàil a lail é
   Air fàil a lail ò, horò, air fàil a lail é
   Fail i, fail ò, horò air fail a lail é
   
   Oh, fair-haired cow-herd, if it is your desire to be first to speak:
   My hand is yours if you come to me with joy.
   It is sad that being together is not our destiny,
   On an isle with no shore, without boat or rudder or oar.
   
   If you go to sea, my dear, there will be a guinea in your pocket,
   And drink to my health each place that you sit at the table.
   With your pure, glad and joyful heart,
   I desire the mouth from which comes forth the music.
   
   I so like the mouth, the tooth that would not with rancor speak,
   Lying beside me, my darling, if only you'd come:
   Were not the gossipers there my dear I'd give thanks,
   With order of clergy our binding together forever.
   
   Would that you and I, on mountain, on moor or on heath,
   Or on the white beach in a place where no one e'er was
   Seven nights, seven days, without respite, without sleep without food
   But just you and I my dear, and your arm's protection around me.
