Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Cnocan beag a muigh an sin There is a little knock out there
Ceol is binne teudan And the most melodious music
Cnocan beag a muigh an sin There is a little knock out there
Co bhios ann ach meudail Who else is there but my darling
   
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Sùilean dubh aig meudail My darling has dark eyes
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Cuin a thig thu chéilidh When will you come calling?
   
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Sùilean dubh aig meudail My darling has dark eyes
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Cuin a thig thu chéilidh When will you come calling?
   
Cha teid mise mach a nochd I will not go out tonight
Cha teid mise chéilidh I will not go visiting
Cha teid mise mach a nochd I will not go out tonight
Is dùil agam ri meudail Since I'm expecting my darling
   
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Sùilean dubh aig meudail My darling has dark eyes
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Cuin a thig thu chéilidh When will you come calling?
   
Cnocan beag a muigh an sin There is a little knock out there
Ceol is binne teudan And the most melodious music
Cnocan beag a muigh an sin There is a little knock out there
Co bhios ann ach meudail Who else is there but my darling
   
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Sùilean dubh aig meudail My darling has dark eyes
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Cuin a thig thu chéilidh When will you come calling?
   
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Sùilean dubh aig meudail My darling has dark eyes
Sùilean dubh, a dubh, a dubh Dark eyes, dark eyes, dark eyes
Cuin a thig thu chéilidh When will you come calling?
   
Cha teid mise mach a nochd I will not go out tonight
Cha teid mise chéilidh I will not go visiting
Cha teid mise mach a nochd I will not go out tonight
