Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
A ghaoil, saoil am faigh mi thu? My love, will you be mine?
'S e d'fhaighinn dhèanadh slàn mi Getting you would make me whole
'S a ghaoil, saoil am faigh mi thu? My love, will you be mine?
   
Cha ghabh mi fhèin an tàillear I will not take the tailor
Cha ghabh, cha ghabh, chan àill leam I will not, I don't want him
   
Cha ghabh mi fhèin an ceannaiche I will not take the merchant
Bidh eallach de chuid chàich air His burden is other people's belongings
   
Cha ghabh mi fhèin an tuathanach I will not take the farmer
Bidh ruaig airson a' mhàil air He is always chasing people for rent
   
Ach 's e mo ghaol an seòladair But my love is the sailor
Air bòrd na luing mòr àrda On board the big, tall ship
   
Cha ghabh mi fhèin an tàillear I will not take the tailor
Cha ghabh, cha ghabh, chan àill leam I will not, I don't want him
   
Cha ghabh mi fhèin an ceannaiche I will not take the merchant
Bidh eallach de chuid chàich air His burden is other people's belongings
   
Cha ghabh mi fhèin an tuathanach I will not take the farmer
Bidh ruaig airson a' mhàil air He is always chasing people for rent
   
Ach 's e mo ghaol an seòladair But my love is the sailor
Air bòrd na luing mòr àrda On board the big, tall ship
