Hùbha is na hoireann hùbha,
Hùbha is na hoireann hì:
Hùbha is na hoireann hùbha
'S ann le foill a mheall thu mì.
A mach air bharr nan stuagh ri gaillinn,
Fuachd is feannadh fad 'o thìr;
Tha mo ghaol dhuit daònnan fallainn
Ged is maighdean mhara mì.
Hùbha ...
Chaneil mo chadal-sa ach luaineach
'Nuair bhios buaireas air an tìd':
Bha mi 'n raoir an Coire Bhreacain
'S bi mi nochd an Eilean I.
Hùbha ...
Seall is faic an grunnd na fairge -
Uamhan airgiod 's òr gun dìth,
Lainnearachd chan fhaca sùil e
Ann an cuirt no lùchairt righ.
Hùbha ...

Hùbha is na hoireann hùbha,
Hùbha is na hoireann hì:
Hùbha is na hoireann hùbha
It was with guile that you deceived me.
Out on top of the tempest's crest,
coldness and chilliness, far from land;
My love always cloaked you
Although I am only a mermaid
Hùbha...
My sleep is restless
When there is anxiety about the weather:
Last night I spent in Corry Vreckan*
And tonight it's in Iona that I'll be.
Hùbha...
Look and see on the ocean's floor -
Caves of gold and silver in plenty
Beauty never seen before
Even in the courts or palace of kings.
