Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Seinn o hò rò seinn Sing o ho ro sing
Seinn o hò rò leannainn Sing o ho ro darling
Seinn o hò rò seinn Sing o ho ro sing
   
Gur e mise tha brònach Sorrowful am I
Dh'fhalbh Dòmhnall on a bhaile That Donald has left the town
Seinn o hò rò seinn Sing o ho ro sing
   
Gur e minic a bha sinn We were often
Air àirigh a chruidh bhainne At the shieling of the milking cattle
Seinn o hò rò seinn Sing o ho ro sing
   
Bu leabaidh dhuinn luachair Our bed was rushes
'S bu chluasag dhuinn cannach Our pillow was bog cotton
Seinn o hò rò seinn Sing o ho ro sing
   
Seinn o hò rò leannainn Sing o ho ro darling
Seinn o hò rò seinn Sing o ho ro sing
