Gur e mis' tha gu tinn |

Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
E ho hù o hù o |
E ho hù o hù o |
Hao ri ri o hù o |
Hao ri ri o hù o |
Ro ho hì ho hì o |
Ro ho hì ho hì o |
|
|
Chan e goirteas mo chìnn |
It is not my head that feels the pain |
|
|
Ach na chuir mi dhan chìll |
But the one I buried |
|
|
Gaol ise 's luaidh i |
My love, my beloved |
|
|
Mi cuimir 's mi cruinn |
I am bonnie, I am plump |
|
|
'S mi gu biorshùileach bìnn |
I, with the sweet, bright eye |
|
|
Mar chuthaig air craoibh |
Like a cuckoo in a tree |
|
|
Mar smeòrach air bèinn |
Like a thrush on the hill |
|
|
Mi dualach 's mi donn |
With my long, curly locks |
