| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| An ataireachd bhuan | The everlasting swelling |
| Cluinn fuam na h-ataireachd ard | Hear the sound of the high swelling |
| Tha torann a chuain mar | The roar of the sea |
| Chualas leamsa 'nam phaisd | Is as was heard by me as a child |
| Gun mhuthadh gun truas | Without change, without pity |
| A' sluaisreadh gainneamh na tragh'd | Shovelling the sand of the shore |
| An ataireachd bhuan | The everlasting swelling |
| Cluinn fuam na h-ataireachd ard | Hear the sound of the high swelling |
| Ach siubhlaidh mi uat | But I'll depart from you |
| Cha ghluais mi tuilleadh 'nad dhail | I'll not move any more to meet you |
| Tha m'aois is mo shnuadh | My age and my appearance |
| Toirt luaidh air giorrad mo latha | Give an account of the shortness of my day |
| 'San am dhomh bhith suaint' | At the time that I am wrapped |
| Am fuachd's an cadal a' bhais | In the cold slumber of death |
| Mo leabaidh dean suas | My bed make up behind |
| Ri fuaim na h-ataireachd aird | The sound of the sea |
