Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Là dhomh 's mi 'm beinn a' cheathaich One day when I was on the misty mountain
   
Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
Far al a leò ro ho bhi ò Far al a leò ro ho bhi ò
Hoireann is ò ho rò bhi o ho Hoireann is ò ho rò bhi o ho
Hi rì ho ro ho bha ò hug ò ro Hi rì ho ro ho bha ò hug ò ro
   
'S ann agam 's a bha 'n sealladh I saw a wonderful sight
   
Gun deach bàta Chloinn Nìll seachad The Clan MacNeill's ship passed by
   
Mach bho dhùthaich MhicGill-Eathain Away from MacLean country
   
Steach gu Cìosamul an aighir Towards joyful Kisimul
   
Far am faight' a' chuirm ri gabhail Where the feasting takes place
   
Fìon 'ga òl oidhche gu latha Drinking wine from night to day
   
Pìobaireachd nam feadan àrd' laghach The piping of the tall, lovely drones
   
Clàrsach bhinn ga gleusadh mar ris The sweet harp being tuned alongside
   
Sìoda donn ga chur air na mnathan Russet silk being worn by the ladies
   
Gill'Eòghanain mòr an gaisgeach Gilleonan, the great hero
   
Ruairi òg an t-oighre maiseach Young Rory, the handsome heir
