Tog an gille beag dha'n athar |
Lift the little boy up in the air |
Mile rionnag ann a' tamh |
Where a thousand stars abide |
Tulg e dhoimhneachd na mara |
Rock him to the depths of the ocean |
Far'eil iasgan beag a snamh |
Where litte fishes dwell |

'S ged a bhitheadh go mhathair uairean saraicht' |
Your mother is sometimes tired |
Tulgadh sios is tulgadh suas |
Rocking you up and down |
Doigh is toilgheas do mhathair |
Your mother's joyful tears |
Ille bhig cha tuig thu riamh |
You'll never understand |
