Gu innis nam bó
Far am b'eól dhomh 'n ainnir
Gu Bráighe Loch Iall
Far 'm bi fiadh 'sa langa

Is earbag nan stúc
Tha lúghmhor eangarr'
A bhean an fhuilt réidh
Thug mi fhéin dhut mo ghealladh

Mo gheallaidh nach tréig
Ged a b'fheudar dhuinn dealach'
Gur ma thig bréid bán
Air a cháradh ort beannach

Mu aghaidh gun tolg
Nan gormshúl meallach
Is staidhse dhan t-síoda
Mhín 'gad theannach'

Is áparan úr
A búth a' cheannaich
Gura minig a bhá
Sinn air áirigh ghleannaich

Am bothan beag dlúth
Gun dúnadh ach barrach
Lámh thogail an áil
Bha tláths riut ceangailt

'N ám gabhail mu thámh
Cha bu chnámhan ar teallach
Mo lámh fo d' cheann
'S do lámh gheal tharam

Mo thaobh ri d'thaobh
Sinn maoth-chridheach tairis
O théid, 's gun téid
O théid mi thairis

To the cattle grazings
Where I used to know a maiden
To the Braes of Locheil
Where the belling stags are

And the little roe of the peaks
So nimble and light-footed
Girl with the glossy hair
I gave you my word

My word that will not be broken
Though we had to part
You will suit the (married woman's) kerch
Pinned up at the corners

About the flawless face
With the enchanting blue eyes
Stays of fine silk
Drawn tight around you

And a fine apron
From the merchant's shop
Many a time have we been
At a shieling in the glens

In a snug little hut
With only brushwood for a door
Best at rearing the calves
Gentleness was always your way

When we went to bed
Our fire had not died down
My arm under your head
And your arm around me

My side against your side
We were tender hearted and loving
O I'll go I'll surely go
O I will go over
