Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Sèist: Chorus:
Bidh falbh o'n uinneig Go away from the window
Fhir ghaoil, fhir ghaoil My love, my love
'S na tig a-nochd tuilleadh Come no more tonight
Fhir gràidh, fhir gràidh My love, my love
   
Tha do long air an t-sàile Your ship is afloat
'S i gun seòladair aice With no sailor on it
Tha do long air an t-sàile Your ship is afloat
'S i gun seòladair aice With no sailor on it
Bidh falbh o'n uinneig Go away from the window
Fhir ghaoil, fhir ghaoil My love, my love
'S na tig a-nochd tuilleadh Come no more tonight
Fhir gràidh, fhir gràidh My love, my love
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Cuir umad do bhrògan Put on your shoes
Tha'n tòir a' tigh'nn cas ort The pursuers are coming close to you
Cuir umad do bhrògan Put on your shoes
Tha'n tòir a' tigh'nn cas ort The pursuers are coming close to you
Gur mise bhios brònach I will be grief-stricken
Ma ni'n tòir seo cur às dut If these pursuers kill you
'S na tig a-nochd tuilleadh Come no more tonight
Fhir gràidh, fhir gràidh My love, my love
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Nuair a thèid mi measg slòighe When I go among people
Fear do bhòidhchid chan fhaic mi As fine-looking a man I do not see
Tha faltan donn dualach Brown hair in tresses
Air mo luaidh de na gaisgich Has my hero love
Gur mise bhios brònach I will be grief-stricken
Ma ni'n tòir seo cur às dut If these pursuers kill you
'S na tig a-nochd tuilleadh Come no more tonight
Fhir gràidh, fhir gràidh My love, my love
