Lyrics and translation:
starka strong
virna weather, wind
vestilie westerly
obadeea trouble, hurt
monye men
stala put in order
stoita support
stong mast
raer yards (of a mast)
O whit says du? O what do you say? (modern Shetland dialect)
da bunshka baer that the boat will bear or carry her sail
litra mae vee I am pleased with that
drengie boys
Saina papa wara Bless us, our Father
