Fionnghuala Lyrics

Thuirt an gobha fuirighidh mi The blacksmith said,
"I'll wait"
'S thuirt an gobha falbhaidh mi The blacksmith said,
"I'll go"
'S thuirt an gobha leis an othail The blacksmith said,
in his confusion
A bh' air an dòrus an t-sàbhail Standing at the door of
the barn
Gu rachadh e a shuirghe That he was going to go
courting

Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
'Si eilean nam bothan nam bothan Island of bothies, of
bothies
Eilean nam bothan nam bothan Island of bothies, of
bothies
Eilean nam bothan nam bothan Island of bothies, of
bothies
Am bothan a bh' aig Fionnghuala Fingal's bothies
'Si eilean nam bothan nam bothan Island of bothies, of
bothies
Eilean nam bothan nam bothan Island of bothies, of
bothies
Eilean nam bothan nam bothan Island of bothies, of
bothies
Am bothan a bh' aig Fionnghuala Fingal's bothies

Bheirinn fead air fulmairean I'd knock spots off the
birds
Bheirinn fead air falmairean I'd knock spots off the
hakes
Liuthannan beaga na mara Little lythes of the sea
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn We would take a while
hauling them in
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn If our hand lines last

Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo We got nothing here Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo We got nothing here
Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo We got nothing here
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn We would take a while
hauling them in
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn If our hand lines last

Bheirinn fead air fulmairean I'd knock spots off the
birds
Bheirinn fead air falmairean I'd knock spots off the
hakes
Liuthannan beaga na mara Little lythes of the sea
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn We would take a while
hauling them in
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn If our hand lines last

Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo We got nothing here
Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo We got nothing here
Cha d'thuirt an dadan a' seo We got nothing here
Bheireamaid greis air an tarrainn We would take a while
hauling them in
Na maireadh na duirgh dhuinn If our hand lines last

Thuirt an gobha fuirighidh mi The blacksmith said,
