Ille bhig gu'n togainn thogainn Little boy, I'll lift, lift

Hai thogainn, hai leagainn Hai thogainn, hai leagainn

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
