Latha dhomh 's mi buain a choirce |
One day while reaping oats |

Gheàrr mi'm beum 's cha robh e socair |
I cut a handful of corn, and it was not easy |

I cut a handful of corn, and it was not easy |

Shuidh mi air uachdair a'ghoirtein |
I sat by the edge of the cornfield |

Shuidh mi air uachdair a'ghoirtein |

Dh'fheuch am faicinn fear do choltais |
To see if I could see one like you |

Dh'fheuch am faicinn fear do choltais |
To see if I could see one like you |
|
Fear chùil duinn 's nan gruaidhean dosrach |
The one with brown locks and plummy cheeks |
| |
|
|
Fhaoileag bheag a shnàmhas an cala |
Little seagull who can swim the harbor |
|
Beir mo shoraidh bhuam gu m' leannan |
Take my respects from me to my lover |
