Hoirean ò hi ri ìthill iù |

Moch 's a 'mhaduinn rinn mi éirigh |
Early in the morning I arose |
|

Dhirich mi àirigh na spréigheadh |
I climbed the shelling |

Dhirich mi àirigh na spréigheadh |
I climbed the shelling |

Fhuair mi a' chruinneag dhonn gun éirigh |
I found the brown-haired maiden not yet risen |
|

Fhuair mi a' chruinneag dhonn gun éirigh |
I found the brown-haired maiden not yet risen |
|

Ach ma fhuair, cha d'fhuair mi réidh i |
Although I found her, I didn't find her prepared |
|

Ach ma fhuair, cha d'fhuair mi réidh i |
Although I found her, I didn't find her prepared |

S' ann a bha i 'n dheoghaidh réiteach |
She had become engaged |
|

S' ann a bha i 'n dheoghaidh réiteach |
She had become engaged |

Le toil ministeir na cléireadh |
With permission from the minister of the clergy |

Le toil ministeir na cléireadh |

Ghabh mi gaol air fios gun fhios ort |
I gave you love without your knowing |
