Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a         Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
B'aighearach an uiridh mi         Wasn't I happy last year
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a         Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
'N sabhal Iain 'ic Uisdein         In Iain 'ic Uisdein's barn
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a         Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
B'aighearach an uiridh mi         Wasn't I happy last year
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a         Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
'N sabhal Iain 'ic Uisdein         In Iain 'ic Uisdein's barn
        
Nuair thòisich ruidhle nam pòg         When the reel of kisses began
Siud far an robh 'n cridhealas         There was the cheerfulness
Chluinnte farum am bròg         The thunder of their shoes could be heard
Ann am Bail' an Tùra         In Bail' an Tura

Nuair thòisich ruidhle nam pòg         When the reel of kisses began
Siud far an robh 'n cridhealas         There was the cheerfulness
Chluinnte farum am bròg         The thunder of their shoes could be heard
Ann am Bail' an Tùra         In Bail' an Tura
        
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a         Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
B'aighearach an uiridh mi         Wasn't I happy last year
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a         Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
'N sabhal Iain 'ic Uisdein         In Iain 'ic Uisdein's barn
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a         Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
B'aighearach an uiridh mi         Wasn't I happy last year
Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a         Hiuraibh-a hoireabh-a
'N sabhal Iain 'ic Uisdein         In Iain 'ic Uisdein's barn
        
Pòg a Chalum a' Rubha         A kiss for Calum from the Point
Pòg dhan a h-uile fear         A kiss for every man
Pòg a Chalum a' Rubha         A kiss for Calum from the Point
Dh'fhear Rubha 'n Dùnain         And for the man from Rubh' an Dùnain
Pòg a Chalum a' Rubha         A kiss for Calum from the Point
Pòg dhan a h-uile fear         A kiss for every man
Pòg a Chalum a' Rubha         A kiss for Calum from the Point
Dh'fhear Rubha 'n Dùnain         And for the man from Rubh' an Dùnain

relayed from Runrigfan message which was on another thread - lyrics from na hOganaich recording

Hiurabha horobha b’ aighearach
an-uiridh mi
Hiurabha horobha sabhal Iain ‘lc Ùisdein (x2)

Hiurabha horobha, happy was I last year
Hiurabha horobha in John, son of Hugh’s barn. (x2)

Pòg a Chalum a’ rubha, pòg dhan
a h-uile fear
Pòg a Chalum a’ rubha ’s do dh’fhear Rubha ’n Dùnain (x2_

Nuair thòisich ruidhle nam pòg sud far
’n robh an cridhealas
Chluinnte faram nam bròg ann am
Baile ’n Tùra (x2)

When the kissing reel started, there was great cheer
The sound of your shoes could be heard in Baile ’n Tùra.x2

"This is used as the air to a puirt-a-beul called "Sabhal Iain 'ic Uisdean" (John MacEwan's Barn) or "Ruidhle nam Pog" (The Kissing Reel)." - classed in The Session site as a "barndance". It is sometimes played for dancing the Highland Scottische.

you can find both instrumental and sung recordings on youtube

The Tannas lyrics are given in the first message.

As puirt-a-beul is traditionally sung as a substitute for instruments, I looked for an unaccompanied rendition:
