| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Och a Thearlaich og Stiubhart | Oh young Charles Stewart |
| 'Se do chuis rinn mo leireadh | Your cause is the reason of my sorrow |
| Thug thu uam gach ni bh'agam | You took from me everything I had |
| Ann an cogadh a'd aobhar | In the war on your behalf |
| Cha chrodh is cha chairdean | I am not mourning cattle and sheep |
| Rinn mo chradh ach mo cheile | But my partner |
| O'n la dh'fhag thu m'i'm aonar | Since I am left alone |
| Gun sion 'sant-saoghal ach leine | With nothing but my shroud |
| Mo run geal og | My bright young love |
| Gur a mis' thair mo sqaradh | I am torn apart |
| 'Sged a chan-am cha bhreug e | And although I say it, it is no lie |
| 'Sioma te bha na bantraich | My joy turned to sorrow |
| Nach d'fhuair samhladh do'm cheile | Since you will not return from death |
| Fear do cheille's do thuig-se | One of your wisdom and understanding |
| Cha robh fur-asd r'a fhaotuinn | Was not easy to find |
| 'Scha do sheas air Cul-lo-dair | And not one stood at Culloden |
| Fear do choltais bu treine | Of your appearance and bravery |
| Mo run geal og | My bright young love |
