Seice Ruairidh - Roddy's Drum

Seice Ruairidh bheir i fuaim
Seice Ruairidh bheir i srann
Seice Ruairidh bheir i fuaim
Nuair a bhailear i gu teann

Nuair bhailear i bheir i fuaim aisd'
'S gluaisidh gach duine bhios ann
An fhuaim a bheir seice Ruairidh
Bheir i nuas an taigh mun ceann

M'eudail air do shùilean donna
Air do shùilean 's air do bhodhaig
M'eudail air do shùilean donna
'S air do bhodhaig bhòidhich

Pòsaidh mi dha-rìreadh
Pòsaidh mi dha-rìreadh
Pòsaidh mi an gille donn
Ma tha e 'g ràdh an fhìrinn

Roddy's drum makes a noise/Roddy's drum makes a whirring/Roddy's drum makes a noise/When it's struck smartly
When it makes a noise/Everyone present moves/The noise Roddy's drum makes/Will bring the house down
I love your brown eyes/Your eyes and your shape/I love your brown eyes/And your comely shape
I will marry for sure/I will marry for sure/I will marry the brown-haired lad/If he is telling the truth
