I ud ud eatharam
| Làrach do thacaidean | The trace of your tackets |
| Làrach do chruidean | The trace of your hard boots |
| Làrach do bhrògan | The trace of your shoes |
| Am bòrd Loch na Muilne | On the plank at the Mill Loch |
| Sèist: | Chorus: |
| I ud ud eatharam | I ud ud eatharam |
| I ud ud aoiream | I ud ud aoiream |
| I ud ud eatharam | I ud ud eatharam |
| Chunna mise raoir thu | I saw you last night |
| Cha b'e brògan tacaideach | You shouldn't have been wearing tackety boots |
| Le pleitichean is cruidhean | With patches and hard soles |
| Bu chòir a bhith ma d' chasan | On your feet |
| Ma 's e caithris bha nad inntinn | If you had a "night visit" in mind |
| Carson a bha thu spadsearsachd | Why were you stravaiging |
| Timchioll tigh na muilne | Around the Mill House? |
| Robh thu'n dùil gu faigheadh tu | Did you think you'd get to |
| Gu nighean bhuidhe mhuilleir? | The miller's fair-haired daughter? |
| Cha ghabh i idir, idir, thu | She won't have you at all, at all |
| Cha dèan i caithris oidhch' leat | She won't entertain you on a "night visit" |
| Gu'n cuir thu bhuat na bloidsearan | Until you get rid of those clumsy boots |
| 'S gu faigh thu brògan foidhne | And get finer footwear |
