Bai Jo
Is mise Bai Jo, iasc órga
Coinnímse súil ar na gongshi
Na carraigeacha ealaíonta.
Is aoibhinn leis an aos dána iad!
Deirtear nach bhfuil cuimhne an-mhaith
Ag éisc órga
Ach ní dhéanfaidh mise dearmad go deo
Ar na gongshi!
Bai Jo
I'm Bai Jo, a goldfish
I keep an eye on the gongshi
artistic rocks
beloved of poets.
They say that goldfish
Haven't much of a memory
But I'll never forget
the gongshi!
Bai Jo
Ah'm Bai Jo a gowdfush
ah tak tent o the gongshi
airtistic clints
loo'd bi aw makars.
It's threepit thit gowdfush
dinnae hae muckle myndin
bit ah'll nivver foryet
the gongshi.
(Scots version: John McDonald)
