Minguly Boat Song
What care we though, white the Minch is?
What care we for wind or weather?
Let her go boys; every inch is
Sailing homeward to Mingulay.
Refrain:
Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys;
Bring her head round, into the weather,
Hill you ho, boys, let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
Wives are waiting, by the pier head,
Or looking seaward, from the heather;
Pull her round, boys, then you'll anchor
'Ere the sun sets on Mingulay.
Refrain:
Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys;
Bring her head round, into the weather,
Hill you ho, boys, let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay
Ships return now, heavy laden
Mothers holdin' bairns a-cryin'
They'll return, though, when the sun sets
They'll return to Mingulay.
Refrain:
Heel yo ho, boys; let her go, boys;
Bring her head round, into the weather,
Hill you ho, boys, let her go, boys
Sailing homeward to Mingulay |

Ce n'est qu'un au revoir!
Ce n'est qu'un au revoir, mes frères,
Ce n'est qu'un au revoir.
Oui, nous nous reverrons, mes frères,
Ce n'est qu'un au revoir.
Faut-il nous quitter sans espoir,
Sans espoir de retour ?
Faut-il nous quitter sans espoir
De nous revoir un jour ?
"Auld Lang Syne" en Anglaise-Ecossaise
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And auld lang syne ?
Refrain:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
And surely ye'll be your pint-stowp ,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
Refrain:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup of kindness yet,
For auld lang syne!
And there's a hand my trusty fiere ,
And gie's a hand o thine,
And we'll tak a right guid-willie waught ,
For auld lang syne
