A hù a hò dheoghail na laoigh A hu a ho the calves have sucked
A hù a hò dheoghail na laoigh A hu a ho the calves have sucked
A hù a hò dheoghail na laoigh A hu a ho the calves have sucked
A bhanarach chaoin, dheoghail an t-àl Oh gentle milkmaid, the young have sucked
   
O's gille na gruth, bainne nam bò Whiter than crowdy is cow's milk
O's gille na gruth, bainne nam bò Whiter than crowdy is cow's milk
O's gille na gruth, bainne nam bò Whiter than crowdy is cow's milk
A bhanarach chaoin, 's gil' thu na càch Oh gentle milkmaid, you are fairer than the rest
   
Buidhe mar òr cuailean mo ghaoil Yellow like gold is my love's hair
Buidhe mar òr cuailean mo ghaoil Yellow like gold is my love's hair
Buidhe mar òr cuailean mo ghaoil Yellow like gold is my love's hair
A bhanarach chaoin, 's tu-sa mo ghràdh Oh gentle milkmaid, you are my love
   
M'ulaidh 's mo rùn cailin nam bò My treasure and my darling, the herd maid
M'ulaidh 's mo rùn cailin nam bò My treasure and my darling, the herd maid
M'ulaidh 's mo rùn cailin nam bò My treasure and my darling, the herd maid
A bhanarach chaoin, m'ulaidh gu bràth Oh gentle milkmaid, my treasure forever
