Lyrics: English Translation:
   
O hì 's na hì iù o O hi sna hi iu o
Hì ri rì 's na hì iù o Hi ri ri sna hi iu o
O hì rì 's na hì iù o O hi ri sna hi iu o
'S e mo rùn an t-oighr' òg My love is the young heir
   
Oighr' òig a Dun-bheagain Young heir of Dunvegan
Nam pìoban 's nam feadan Of the pipes and of the chanters
'S mi gun dèanadh do fhreagairt It is I who would answer you
Le fead cinn a' mheòir With a whistle, using the tips of the fingers
   
Tha ùbhlan nad ghàrradh There are apples in your garden
Agus peuran a' fàs ann And pears are growing there
Tha do chrodh air bàrr fàsaich Your cattle are on the upper pasture
'S tha do bhàta fo sheòl And you ship is under sail
   
Sguiridh mise gad iargain I shall stop yearning for you
Bho nach fhaigh mi thu 'm bliadhn' Since I shall not get you this year
Ach seo mo làmh nach mi chiad tè I am not the first one by any means
Fhuair briathran do bheòil Who was deceived by you
   
O hì 's na hì iù o O hi sna hi iu o
Hì ri rì 's na hì iù o Hi ri ri sna hi iu o
O hì rì 's na hì iù o O hi ri sna hi iu o
'S e mo rùn an t-oighr' òg My love is the young heir
