|---|---|
| Gura mise tha fo eislean | That I am distressed |
| Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g’eirigh | Early in the morning I get up |
| Seist: | Seist: |
| O hi shiubhlainn leat | Oh hi I would walk with you |
| Hi ri bho ho ru bhi | Hi ri bho ho ru bhi |
| Hi ri bho ho rinn o ho | Hi ri bho ho rinn o ho |
| Ailein Duinn, o hi shiubhlainn leat | Allan Brown, o hi I travel with you |
| Ma 's e 'n cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh | If your pillow is sand |
| Ma 's e leabaidh dhut an gheamainn | If your bed is the game |
| Ma 's e 'n t-iasg do choinlean geala | If the fish is your white candle |
| Ma 's e na roin do luchd-faire | If the divisions are for watchmen |
| Dh’olainn deoch ge b' oil le cach e | I would drink as much as anyone else could |
| De dh’fhuil do choim 's tu 'n deidh do bhathadh | What was the blood on your waist when you drowned |
