| Is mi coiseachd gu m’àite suidhe
Ag èisteachd ri daoine eile a ’cluich cho binn
A’ feitheamh gu mi-fhoighidneach airson cluich.
Fhad’s a tha an duine romham a’ dol a chluich
Tha mi smaoineachadh air rudan togarrach.
Mo chridhe bualadh nuair a dh’èigheas iad m’ainm
A’ coiseachd air an àrd-ùrlar
A’ cagairt leam fhèin “Bidh thu ceart gu leòr”.
Mo làmhan air chrith fhad’s a tha mi a’ cluich
Bualadh bhasan fhad’s a tha mi leum far an àrd-ùrlair .
A suidhe ’s a’ saoilsinn “Ciamar a rinn mi?
Am buannaich mi no am faigh mi moladh mòr?”
A’ gabhail iongnadh “An robh mi uabhasach?”
Fhad’s a tha am britheamh gar moladh,
‘s a’ mìneachadh ar mearachdan
Tha e a’ toirt cùnntasan glè àrd dhuinn
Ag innse dhuinn cò bhuannaich.
Fhad’s a tha mi bualadh bhasan airson an duine a bhuannaich
Tha mi toilichte gu bheil e uile seachad

As I walk to sit at my place
Listening to other people playing beautifully
Waiting impatiently to play
As the person in front is going to play
I think exciting things
My heart pounding as they call my name
Walking on to the stage
Whispering to myself you’ll do fine
My hands shaking as I’m playing
Folks cheering as I’m bounding off the stage
Sitting thinking how did I do
Will I win or get great compliments
Wondering if I did terrible
As the judge gives us compliments,
tells us our mistakes
He gives us very high scores
Tells us who’s won
As I clap for the person who’s won
I’m glad it’s all over and done
