O thèid gun tèid |
I shall go, I shall go |
O thèid mi tharais |
I shall go across |
Gun innis nam bò |
To the cattle pasture |
Far an ceòlmhor annir |
Where the melodious maiden lives |
|

Sil ò ro bha hò |
Sil ò ro bha hò |
'S na hi ri ri u o |
'S na hi ri ri u o |
Hi horan hug ò hil o ro bha hò |
Hi horan hug ò hil o ro bha hò |

Gun innis nam bò |
To the cattle pasture |
Far an ceòlmhor annir |
Where the melodious maiden lives |
Gu Bràighe Loch Iall |
To the Brae of Loch Eil |
Far'm bi fiadh san langan |
Where the bellowing deer are |
|

Gu Bràighe Loch Iall |
To the Brae of Loch Eil |
Far'm bi fiadh san langan |
Where the bellowing deer are |
Is earbag nan stùc |
And the little roe of the peaks |
Gu lùthmhor eangarr' |
That is so strong and nimble |
|
|
Is earbag nan stùc |
And the little roe of the peaks |
Gu lùthmhor eangarr' |
That is so strong and nimble |
A bheann a fhuilt rèidh |
Oh woman of the fine hair |
Guidheam fèin dhuit mo bheannachd |
I will give you my blessing |
|

A bheann a fhuilt rèidh |
Oh woman of the fine hair |
Guidheam fèin dhuit mo bheannachd |
I will give you my blessing |
Mo bheannachd ad dhèidh |
My blessing goes with you |
On as fheudar bhith dealaicht' |
As we must be parted |
