Jeagh jeagh ta battey sy vaie

Ta ny skibbyltee boghtey cheet dy cloie

Ta’d ceau oilley nyn eaddaghyn share

Ta’n ruegys er n’yannoo

 

Ta ny phaityn roie mygeayrt y traie

Troggal cashtel geiney as y lhied

Ta’d garraghtee as monghey feih’n laa

As eisht ersooyl dys nyn lhiabbee lane skee

 

Jeagh jeagh ta battey sy vaie

Ta ny skibbyltee boghtey cheet dy cloie

Ta’d ceau oilley nyn eaddaghyn share

Ta’n ruegys er n’yannoo

 

Mraane as Deiney uillin er uillin

Goll son shooyl er y choolaghyn

Rumbylyn gleashaghey mygeart y mooie

Jeeagh cho maynrys ta’d

 

Jeagh jeagh ta battey sy vaie

Ta ny skibbyltee boghtey cheet dy cloie

Ta’d ceau oilley nyn eaddaghyn share

Ta’n ruegys er n’yannoo

 

Ooilley y lieh er nyn laaghyn serrey

Cur magh cooinaghtyn er nyn obbyr foddey ersooyl

Ta’d ayns shoh er slyst eddyr y chean as yn thalloo

Shoh dousyn seyrsnys, gyn obbyr, gyn imnea

 

Jeagh jeagh ta battey sy vaie

Ta ny skibbyltee boghtey cheet dy cloie

Ta’d ceau oilley nyn eaddaghyn share

Ta’n ruegys er n’yannoo

 

As ersooyl vie’n Ellan dys Sostyn twoaie

Er-ash dys nyn obbyr as baljyn sollagh

Lesh cooinaghtyn veih yn Ellan bwaagh

Slane lhiat skibbyltee boghtey

 

Jeagh jeagh ta battey sy vaie

Ta ny skibbyltee boghtey cheet dy cloie

Ta’d ceau oilley nyn eaddaghyn share

Ta’n ruegys er n’yannoo

Suppose I should give you monoglots a fair go'

 

Chorus

Look look a boats in the bay

The tourists have come to play

They are wearing their best clothes

The invasion has begun

 

The children play on the beach

Building sandcastles and the like

They laugh and smile all the day

then away to their bed full tired

 

(Chorus)

 

Woman and men arm in arm

Walking along the promenade

Skirts swirrling around and about

See how happy they are

 

(Chorus)

 

All the people on their holidays

forgetting about their work far away

they are here on the verge of the sea and the land

Here to them is freedom, without work without worry

 

(Chorus)

 

And away from the Island to northern England

Back to their work and their dirty towns

with memories of this beautiful Isle

Farewell tourists

 

(Chorus)
