Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Sèist: Chorus:
I hiùraibh, i hiùraibh I hiùraibh, i hiùraibh
I hiùraibh o gheallaidh I hiùraibh o gheallaidh
I hiùraibh ó éile I hiùraibh ó éile
Rinn thu eudail mo mhealladh You, my beloved, deceived me
   
Sann an toiseach a' bhàta It's at the prow of the boat
Tha mo ghràdh dha na fearaibh That my beloved of men is
Sùil chorrach ghorm liònta Eyes passionate blue and satiated
Gruaidh mhìn-dhearg, beul tana Cheeks soft-red, slim mouth
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Thoir an t-soraidh seo bhuamsa Bear this greeting from me
Gu Sliabh nan Tri Seallaidh To the Plain of the Three Visions
Chun an òganaich chiataich To the elegant young man
Tha 'n iar air na Gallaibh Who is west of the Lowlands
   
Gura mis' tha gu brònach How dejected I am
'S mo shùilean sìor lasadh And my eyes verily shining
Ged nach fhaic mi ri m' bheò thu Although I may not see you in my lifetime
Guma slàn thig thu dhachaigh May you return home safely
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
