| Mi Le M' Uilinn (original) | Mi Le M' Uilinn (translation) |
|---|---|
| Mi le m’uilinn air mo ghluin | Me with my elbow on my knee |
| 'Smuladach mi deanamh dain | 'I'm smug to write a poem |
| Chorus: | Chorus: |
| Shil mo shuil nuair chaidh siuil | My eye shed when I went sailing |
| Ri croinn-ura chaol ard | To tall, slender masts |
| Righ, 'smo run-sa nam bard | King, this is the song of the bards |
| Dearcam fhathast air mo ghaol | Still looking at my love |
| Coiseachd air slat-chaol fo sheol | Walk on a narrow rod under sail |
| (Chorus) | (Chorus) |
| Seid seimh, socair, o Ghaoth Tuath | A gentle, calm shed from the North Wind |
| Gus an cuir i Cluaidh as fair | Until she puts the Clyde out of sight |
| (Chorus) | (Chorus) |
| Gheall a Pillidh mis, a ghraidh | Return me, my love |
| Buidhe nuair ni fas an t-earn | Yellow when the sector grows |
| (Chorus) | (Chorus) |
| Aiseig fallain o Ghaoth Tuath | A healthy ferry from North Wind |
| Dhachaidh dhanh mo luaidh slan | My darling went home safe |
| (Chorus) | (Chorus) |
