The recording to which MystMoonstruck refers is almost certainly the macaronic rendition by the Irish trio Cran. This originally appeared on the Cross Border Media label (CBM 002) in 1993 and was reissued on the band's own label (Black Rose Records BRRCD001 in 2005). The original album's cover bore a reproduction of a painting of Fiollageain by the Belfast artist Rita Duffy who updated her painting (showing 'a perhaps older and wiser Fiollaigen') for the reissue. Cross Border Media had a reputation for licensing tracks to compilation labels without informing the musicians involved.

The English language verses are as follows.

We thought you were a big jobber
Whose pockets with gold did jingle
Until we spied your 'oul pack -
You're only the cut of a vagabond.

When the sea rose up in the mountains,
Tossing right over our masthead,
The skipper would go down below
And he'd leave the wheel to Fiollaigean.

Even though he was a pachaill,
Still he could do every man's job for him,
He could plant herbs in the garden,
He could plant kale and cabbages.

He built a white house in Arnol
Near to the height of a mountain,
The stairs and the mirror were crooked,
Likewise the bedroom of Fiollaigean.

Some of the party were coars
And some were well-bred and respectable,
Drinking McEwan's strong ale
Soon brought out the devil in Fiollaigean.
