He wondered who they might be, since no people lived for miles around.Cha robh fhios aige cò bh' aige, oir cha robh duine a' fuireach fasig air làimh.

Upper line represents a clucking, popping, or tsking noise, made by pulling tongue from roof of mouth. Each Part 1 singer should do this in the way he or she finds most resonant and most comfortable. All start very slowly and speed up (to fastest sustainable speed at 1'10"), but singers should not try to be in time with each other. Lower line represents rubbing hands together in a circular motion. Start slowly and increase speed towards 1'10".

The fisherman made his way down the long stone path to the shore. There, in the very place where there had been dancing the night before, he found a woman, alone and shivering in the damp, cold light of the morning.Rinn an t-iasgair a shlighe sìos an casan-cloiche fada chun a' chladaich. An sin, san aon bhad far an robh dannsa air a bhith an oidhche roimhe sin,fhuair e boireannach, na h-aonar is i air chrith ann an solas tais fuar na maidine.

An onlooker would have seen a human woman disappear, and a seal appear in her place, for this woman was a Selkie -- never meant for life on land. Bha cuideigin a bha a' sealltainn air boireannach de chlann nan daoine fhaicinn a' dol às an t-sealladh, agus ròn nochdadh na h-àite, oir 's e bha san tè seo, tè de Shliochd nan Ròn - nach robh talamh tioram na dùthchas dhi riamh.

The fisherman returned home to a quiet house, and knew immediately what had happened. He was sad, but he knew that you cannot force someone to be what they are not.Thàinig an t-iasgair dhachaigh is an taigh cho sàmhach is bha fhios aige sa bhad go dè bh' air èirigh. Bha mulad air ach bha fhios aige nach urrainn dhut toirt air cuideigin a bhith mar rud nach eil iad ann.
