Ple'r ei di heno,

Where are you going tonight,
gentle old man,
The most gentle old man alive?
To hunt the hare, Betty,
A fi-di-di a ram-ti,
A fi-di-di a ram-ti rai-ram-to.
What will you do with the hare?
Sell it for beer, Betty.
What if you get drunk?
Well, that would be so, Betty.
What if you die?
Just bury me, Betty.
Where would you want to be buried?
Under the hearth stone, Betty.
What would you do there?
Listen to the porrige boiling, Betty.
