| Lyrics: | English Translation: |
| Sèist: | Chorus (after each verse): |
| Haghaidh o, haghaidh o ho | Haghaidh o, haghaidh o ho |
| Haghaidh o, o hi i bho | Haghaidh o, o hi i bho |
| Haghaidh o, haghaidh o ho | Haghaidh o, haghaidh o ho |
| An cuala sibh mu'n mhaighdinn cheutach? | Have you heard about the gentle maid |
| Air an tug Niall Bàn an èiginn | Who was ravished by fair-haired Neil? |
| 'S truagh a Rìgh nach bu mhì fhèin i | Pity I couldn't have been in her place |
| Cha shracainn broilleach do lèine | I would not have torn your shirt |
| Na sracadh gu fuaighlinn fhèin i | If I had done that, I would have sewn it up |
| Le snàthaid bhig 's le snàth glè gheal | With a fine needle and white thread |
| 'S nighinn ann am fuaran slèibh i | I would have washed it in a spring well |
| 'S thiormaichinn air bhàrr nan geug i | I would have dried it on the branches |
| 'S chuirinn an t-iarann 'na dhèidh oirr' | I would have ironed it and delivered it |
| 'S chàraichinn an làimh do phèids i | Into the hands of your page |
