Unst Boat Song (trad.)

Starka virna vestilie,
Obadeea, obadeea.
Starka, virna, vestilie,
Obadeea, monye.

Stala, stoita, stonga raer
O, whit says du da bunshka baer;
O, whit says du da bunshka baer;
Litra mae vee drengie.

Saina, papa wara,
Obadeea, obadeea,
Saina, papa wara,
Obadeea, monye.

Starka virna vestilie –
Strong winds from the west
Obadeea – trouble, hurt
Monye- men
Stala, stoita, stonga raer –
Put the mast in order, brace up the mast
O whit says du? –
Oh what do you say?
Da bunshka baer –
That the boat will bear her sail
Litra mae vee, drengie –
I’m pleased with that boys
Saina papa wara – Bless us, Father.
