Dari pinggang seorang nelayan
From the harbour of Crail he went sailing
Dari pelabuhan Crail ia pergi berlayar
And his first born son left the rolling sea
Dan anak sulungnya meninggalkan laut bergulir
Went into the earth to make his living
Pergi ke bumi untuk mencari nafkah
No light of the sun did he ever see
Tidak ada cahaya matahari yang pernah dia lihat
And the coal it broke and scarred him
Dan batu bara itu pecah dan melukai dirinya
And in his heart was the chilling fear
Dan di dalam hatinya ada ketakutan yang mengerikan
That same day the mine would take him
Pada hari yang sama tambang itu akan membawanya
But far freedom's fight in the H.L.I.
Tapi pertarungan kebebasan jauh di H.L.I.
On a foreign field he was taken
Di luar negeri dia dibawa
And the pension left in his daughter's hand
Dan pensiun di tangan putrinya
Had to love and feed the children
Harus mencintai dan memberi makan anak-anak
Oh Caledonia

Oh Caledonia
She quartered at a Rose Street Inn
Dia berempat di Rose Street Inn
She favoured the capitals gentlemen
Dia menyukai tuan tanah ibu kota
And from shame she saved the family name
Dan karena malu dia menyimpan nama keluarga
Made a husband of a lover
Buat suami dari kekasih
From their union come a rhyming man
Dari persatuan mereka datang seorang berima
With his band he crossed the oceon
Dengan bandnya dia melintasi oceon
And the pride of Caledonio
Dan kebanggaan Caledonio
Made his name
Dibuat namanya
Oh Caledonia
Oh Caledonia

Oh Caledonia
Oh Caledonia
