Lyrics: English Translation:
   
O tiugainn leam, o mo dhuine uasail Oh come with me, my noble man
O tiugainn leam, o mo dhuine uasail Oh come with me, my noble man
Is laighibh sìos comhla ruinn And lie down with us
Is laighibh sìos comhla ruinn And lie down with us
Air leabaidh Naoimh Aula On the bed of Saint Aula
Air leabaidh Naoimh Aula On the bed of Saint Aula

O tiugainn leam, o mo dhuine uasail Oh come with me, my noble man
Is laighibh sìos comhla ruinn And lie down with us
Air leabaidh Naoimh Aula On the bed of Saint Aula
   
Bha na làithean a' fàs beagan fuar The days were growing a little colder
'S bha lus-an-eallain a' falach fo chreig chruaidh And the plants hid from you beneath hard rock
Chuir thu marbhfhaisg ort, d'èideadh ùr You put on your shroud, a new robe to you
Oir thàinig foghar nam ban brèid gheal As the harvest of young widows had come
   
Bha am feasgar a' fàs fionnar is òrach The evening grew crisp and golden
Chroch an solus seud le dòrainn is bròn But the jewel light hung in anguish and sorrow
Chunna mi'n t-àit seo le sùilean geur 's làn brìgh I saw this place with sharp eyes, full of substance
Is dh'iarr a' mhuir a bhi gad thadhal, a' sìleadh bho d'chridh' And the sea longed to be restored to you, pouring from the heart
   
Bha an oidhche a' fàs fad' is dorch' The night grew long and dark
Bidh ar cuimhneachan as treasa gad lorg But searching for you our memories will color much deeper
Cùm nad chuimhne ar gaol 'fhir nam buadh Keep our love in your thoughts, man of accomplishments
'S o cadal sìtheil dhut gu bràth fo sgeith nan sluagh And sleep peacefully forever under the wing of the villagers
   
Ho ro hug eile Ho ro hug eile
Ho ro, ho ro Ho ro, ho ro
Ho ro hug eile Ho ro hug eile
__ gu bràth __ forever
