Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
I hiùraibh o, chan eil mi slàn I hiuraibh o, I am not well
Hug òrainn o, chan fhaod mi tàmh Hug orainn o, I cannot be at rest
I hiùraibh o, chan eil mi slàn I hiuraibh o, I am not well
   
'S muladach a' buain an lìn mi Sad I am harvesting the flax
'S deòir mo chinn a' ruith gu làr With my tears falling to the ground
   
Dhòmhnaill Ghuirm ma rinn thu m'eucoir Though you did me an injustice, Donald Gorm
Bha mi dhuit mar thè do chàch I treated you like any of the other women would
   
Bha mi dhuit mar do phiuthar I treated you as your sister would
Mun robh mi tuilleadh 's na b'fheàrr Perhaps even better
   
'S truagh nach robh mi'n riochd na faoileig' It's a shame that I wasn't like a seagull
'S aotrom dhèanainn air an t-snàmh Swimming gently
   
Dealachadh ri Iain is Dòmhnall Separating from Ian and Donald
A leag mo dheòir le cion-fàth My tears flowing for a reason
   
Beannachd Dhé bhi agad Eachainn God's blessing with you, Hector
Bu tu mo roghainn thar chàich You would be my choice above all
   
Bidh mi nisde triall romham There is now a journey before me
Is deòir mo chinn a' ruith gu làr And my tears flowing to the ground
