| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| An ciaradh m'fheasgair 's mo bheath' air claoidh | When day is over and life is done |
| Mo rosg air dunadh 's a' bhas gun chli | Mine eyes have closed and my strength has gone |
| Stiuir curs' an lar leam gu Eilean ciatach | Oh westwards take me and quietly lay me |
| Gu Aignish sgiamhach far an d'araich mi | In Aignish graveyard beside the sea |
| An sin gun cairich sibh mi 'san fhod | There please leave me by kith and kin |
| A measg mo chairdean 'smo shinnsrean coir | By parents kindly and all my friends |
| Ri tonnan barr-gheal a' bualadh traghad | By white waves pounding on beaches sounding |
| 'Sri machair Aignish nan laoigh 's nam bo | By Aignish graveyard beside the sea |
