| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Tha fadachd orm fhin | I am in a state of yearning |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Mo ghaol a nochd air bhar a chuain | My lover tonight is on the bosom of the ocean |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| S'fluich an oidhche's fuar | Cold and wet is this night |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Tha ceo air a bheinn | Thick is the mist on the hill |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| 'S fhada leam gu tinn | I think it an eternity until you come |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Fear a ghunna chaoil nach duilt | The youth with the slim rifle that never misses |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Sealgair nam fiar | The hunter of the stags |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Stu cho fada bhuam | And you are so far away from me |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Ach nach saoil sibh fhein | But do not you yourselves think |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Nach truagh dhomh sa nochd a bhith | That it is a pity for me to be tonight |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Am bothan bhig san fhrith | In a little bothy in the deer forest |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Stu cho fada bhuam | And you so far away from me? |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Beannachd dha mo dhuinn | A blessing to my people |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| A dha chun a ghille bhan | Two blessings to the fair-haired lad |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| S'aine bhuamsa tron | Distant from me is music |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Goirt mo choise trom | Painful and heavy is my step |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Tha fadachd orm fhin | I am in a state of yearning |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Mo ghaol a nochd air bhar a chuain | My lover tonight is on the bosom of the ocean |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| S'fluich an oidhche's fuar | Cold and wet is this night |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Tha ceo air a bheinn | Thick is the mist on the hill |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| 'S fhada leam gu tinn | I think it an eternity until you come |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Fear a ghunna chaoil nach duilt | The youth with the slim rifle that never misses |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Sealgair nam fiar | The hunter of the stags |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
| Stu cho fada bhuam | And you are so far away from me |
| E ho hu ri ho | E ho hu ri ho |
