 **Hop-tu-Naa 'sy [[Gaelg|Ghaelg]]****Hop-tu-Naa 'sy [[Baarle|Vaarle]]**
   
This is old Hollantide night; Hop-tu-naa 
The moon shines bright; Trol-la-laa.   
Cock of the hens; Hop-tu-naa   
Supper of the heifer; Trol-la-laa.   
Which heifer shall we kill? Hop-tu-naa   
The little speckled heifer. Trol-la-laa.   
The fore-quarter, Hop-tu-naa   
We'll put in the pot for you. Trol-la-laa.   
The little hind quarter, Hop-tu-naa   
Give to us, give to us. Trol-la-laa.   
I tasted the broth, Hop-tu-naa   
I scalded my tongue, Trol-la-laa.   
I ran to the well, Hop-tu-naa   
And drank my fill; Trol-la-laa.   
On my way back, Hop-tu-naa   
I met a witch cat; Trol-la-laa.   
The cat began to grin, Hop-tu-naa   
And I ran away. Trol-la-laa. 
Where did you run to? Hop-tu-naa 
I ran to Scotland. Trol-la-laa.   
What were they doing there? Hop-til-naa
Baking bannocks and roasting collops. Trol-la-laa.
Hop-tu-naa, Trol-la-laa

(Spoken)
:If you are going to give us anything, give it us soon,
:Or we'll be away by the light of the moon.

:Hop-tu-naa, Trol-la-laa.
