|
Thug mi 'n oidhche ge b' fhad i |
I spent the night long though it was |
|
O hù a leo ho ro ho |
O hù a leo ho ro ho |
|
Chaidh an cadal a dhìth orm |
Sleep eluded me |
|
Hò ro hill a rinn a |
Hò ro hill a rinn a |
|
Hò ro hull a rinn a |
Hò ro hull a rinn a |
|
Hò ro hu a leo ro hò |
Hò ro hu a leo ro hò |
| |
|
|
Chaidh an cadal a dhìth orm |
Sleep eluded me |
|
O hù a leo ho ro ho |
O hù a leo ho ro ho |
|
'S mi ri coimhead nam braithrean |
As I watched the brothers |
|
Hò ro hill a rinn a |
Hò ro hill a rinn a |
|
Hò ro hull a rinn a |
Hò ro hull a rinn a |
|
Hò ro hu a leo ro hò |
Hò ro hu a leo ro hò |

'S mi ri coimhead nam braithrean |
As I watched the brothers |
|
O hù a leo ho ro ho |
O hù a leo ho ro ho |
|
'S mi ri amharc nam braithrean |
As I watched the brothers |
|
Hò ro hill a rinn a |
Hò ro hill a rinn a |
|
Hò ro hull a rinn a |
Hò ro hull a rinn a |
|
Hò ro hu a leo ro hò |
Hò ro hu a leo ro hò |
| |
|
|
'S mi ri amharc nam braithrean |
As I watched the brothers |
|
O hù a leo ho ro ho |
O hù a leo ho ro ho |
|
Bh' anns a' phàirc an taobh shìos dhìom |
Who were in the field below me |

|
Hò ro hull a rinn a |
