A phiuthrag 's a phiuthar hu ru Little sister, sister hu ru
Ghaoil, a phiuthar hu ru My love, my sister hu ru

Nochd mo chumha hu ru My grief tonight hu ru
   
Nach truagh leat fhein hu ru Can you not pity hu ru
Nochd mo chumha hu ru My grief tonight hu ru
Mi 'm bothan beag o o hol ill eo Small my dwelling o o hol ill eo
Iosal cumhang hu ru Low and narrow hu ru
   
Mi 'm bothan beag hu ru Small my dwelling hu ru
Iosal cumhang hu ru Low and narrow hu ru
Gun sgrath dhion air o o hol ill eo No roof of turf o o hol ill eo
Gun lub tughaidh hu ru No thatch entwined hu ru
   
Gun sgrath dhion air hu ru No roof of turf hu ru
Gun lub tughaidh hu ru No thatch entwined hu ru
Ach uisge nam beann o o hol ill eo But hillside water o o hol ill eo
Sios 'na shruth leis hu ru Like a running stream hu ru
   
Ach uisge nam beann hu ru But hillside water hu ru
Sios 'na shruth leis hu ru Like a running stream hu ru
'S Heabhal mhor o o hol ill eo And mighty Heaval o o hol ill eo
Nan each dhriumfhionn hu ru With white-maned horses hu ru
