Am Pige Ruadh

1     O Fhuaras am pige ruadh,
      Fhuaras na glaineachan,
      Fhuaras am pige ruadh,
      Ann an crònan éireagan.
 
Séist U goraidh gìridh goraidh,
      U goraidh gìridh goraidh
      U goraidh ché goraidh
      Ann an crònan éireagan.
 
2     Làn taighe dh'fhìdhleirean,
      Làn taighe chaileagan,
      Làn taighe luba dubha
      'S làn a' mhuidhe mharagan.
 
3     Thàinig 's gun tàinig
      'S ma thàinig na maraichean,
      Thàinig 's gun tàinig
      'S ma thàinig cha d'fhairich mi.
 
1     O I found the red jug
      I found the glasses (drinking)
      I found the red jug
      In the hen-house
 
2     House full of fiddlers
      House full of girls
      House full of black pudding
      Full of churned pudding.
 
3     Came without coming
      And if the sailors came
      Came without coming
      And if came, I didn't hear.

The chorus is made up of vocables, so it isn't translated, except for the last line which is at the end of the first verse.
