Rubh Nan Cudaigean / The Middleton Mouse Songtext / Lyric

Buain nam bairnich, nam bairnich, nam bairnich

Buain nam bairnich air creagan rubh nan cudaigean

Buain nam bairnich, nam bairnich, nam bairnich

'S goilidh sinn na bairnich 'san taigh air rubh nan cudaigean



Goilidh sinn na bairnich, na bairnich, na bairnich

Goilidh sinn na bairnich 'san taigh air rubh nan cudaigean

Goilidh sinn na bairnich, na bairnich, na bairnich

'S cagnaidh sinn na bairnich air cladach rubh nan cudaigean



Cagnaidh sinn na bairnich, na bairnich, na bairnich

Cagnaidh sinn na bairnich air cladach rubh nan cudaigean

Cagnaidh sinn na bairnich, na bairnich, na bairnich

'S sgaoiligh sinn na bairnich air muir rubh nan cudaigean



Sgaoiligh sinn na bairnich, na bairnich, na bairnich

Sgaoiligh sinn na bairnich air muir rubh nan cudaigean

Sgaoiligh sinn na bairnich, na bairnich, na bairnich

'Suidhidh sinn le tabh ann air creagan rubh nan cudaigean






Be hileam bo horam bo eirich is ithibh ith

Be hileam bo horam bo feitheamh air na cudaigean

Be hileam bo horam bo eirich is ithibh ith

Nach ith sibh na bairnich is ithidh mi na cudaigean



/ [Instrumental]

Rubh nan Cudaigean (Headland of the Cuddy Fish)



Harvest of the limpets [barnacles], of the limpets, of the limpets

Harvest of the limpets on the rocks of the headland...

Harvest of the limpets, of the limpets, of the limpets

and we will boil the limpets in the house on the headland of the cuddy fish



We will boil the limpets, the limpets, the limpets

We will boil the limpets in the house on the headland

We will boil the limpets, the limpets, the limpets

and we will chew the limpets on the shore of the headland…



We will chew the limpets, the limpets, the limpets

We will chew the limpets on the shore of the headland…

We will chew the limpets, the limpets, the limpets

And we will scatter the limpets on the sea at the headland…



We will scatter the limpets, the limpets, the limpets

We will scatter the limpets on the sea at the headland…

We will scatter the limpets, the limpets, the limpets

And we will sit with nets on the rocks of the headland…



Be hileam bo horam bo, rise and eat, eat

Be hileam bo horam bo, waiting on the cuddy fish

Be hileam bo horam bo, rise and eat, eat

Won't you eat the limpets, and I will eat the cuddy fish
