Gura mise tha fo éislean

Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'éirigh

Sèist ò hì shiùbhlainn leat

Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì

Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho

Ailein duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat

[Translation]

How sorrowful I am

Early in the morning rising

[Chorus (after each verse)]

O hì, I would go with thee

Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì

Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho

Brown-haired alan, ò hì, I would go with thee

[Repeated several times]
