Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
Ille dhuinn chaidh tu'm dhìth Brown-haired lad, I have lost you
Slàn gun till thu 's gun ruig thu Sound may you return and reach
Ille dhuinn chaidh tu'm dhìth Brown-haired lad, I have lost you
   
Ille dhuinn a dh'fhalbh a Brògaig Brown-haired lad who left Brogaig
Bidh mi brònach gun tig fios ort I shall be sad until word comes about you
   
Ille dhuinn an leadain dualaich Brown-haired lad of the plaited locks
'S ann Diluain a fhuair mi fios uat It was on Monday I got word from you
   
Ille dhuinn an leadain bhoidhich Brown-haired lad of the beautiful locks
'S ann fo bhròn a dh'fhàg thu mise You have left me sorrowful
   
Ille dhuinn ma dh'fhàg thu'n dùthaich Brown-haired lad, if you left the country
'S mòr mo chùram nis nach tig thu Great is my concern now that you will not come back
