Getting you would restore my health.
Do you think I will get you, love?
I won�t have the Macleods:
They wouldn�t pay for their drinks.
I won�t have the Macdonalds:
A lot of them are tinkers.
I won�t have the Stewarts:
They have a beastly nature.
I won�t have the Camerons:
They have bandy legs.
I won�t have the MacIvors:
You never see them smiling.
I won�t have the MacRaes:
They sleep on the Sabbath.
I won�t have the MacKays:
They go begging potatoes.
I�ll take the soldier,
who�ll look smart going down the street with me.
�S E D� FHAIGHINN DHEANADH SL�N MI.
�S A GHAOIL, SAOIL AM FAIGH MI THU?
Cha ghabh mi Clann �ic Le�id:
Ged a dh��ladh �ad cha ph�igheadh.
Cha ghabh mi-fh�n na D�mhnallaich:
Tha m�ran dhiubh nan ce�rdan.
Cha ghabh mi idir Sti�bhartaich:
Tha br�idealachd nan n�dur.
Cha ghabh mi idir Camshronaich:
�S cas-cham air fear no dh� dhiubh.
Cha ghabh mi Clann Mhic Iomhair:
Chan fhaic thu fiamh a� gh�ir orr�.
Cha ghabh mi Clann Mhic Rath:
Bidh �ad a�cadal air an t-S�baid.
Cha ghabh mi Clann Mhic Aoidh:
Bidh �ad a�faoidh a� bhunt�ta.
�S e ghabhas mis�an saighdear
A dh�fhalbhas grinn an t-sr�id leam.
