Lyrics :	English Translation :

Sèist :	Chorus (after each verse) :
Hi ri am bo hill o ro ho	Hi ri am bo hill o ro ho
Hi ri am bo hi ri ri u	Hi ri am bo hi ri ri u
Hi ri am bo hill o ro ho	Hi ri am bo hill o ro ho

Tha sgeul ur air tighinn don bhaile	A new tale has come to the township
Cha sgeul ur a th' ann ach naidheachd	Not a new tale but a rumor

Tha sgeul ur air tighinn don bhaile	A new tale has come to the township
Cha sgeul ur a th' ann ach naidheachd	Not a new tale but a rumor

Cha sgeul ur a th' ann ach naidheachd	Not a new tale but a rumor
Gun do reitich mo chiad leannan	That my first love has celebrated her wedding feast

Gun do reitich mo chiad leannan	That my first love has celebrated her wedding feast
'S og a fhuair mi fhin do ghealladh	You plighted your troth to me when young

'S og a fhuair mi fhin do ghealladh	You plighted your troth to me when young
Sine bhan nam blath-shuil mealladh	Fair Jean of the warm, bewitching eyes

Sine bhan nam blath-shuil mealladh	Fair Jean of the warm, bewitching eyes
Sine og an or-fhuilt chlannaich	Young Jean with the many golden ringlets

'S gil' do mheadhan na sgiath na h-eala	Your waist is whiter than the wing of the swan
'S guirm' do shuil na driuchd na maidne	Greener your eye than morning dew on grass

'S guirm' do shuil na driuchd na maidne	Greener your eye than morning dew on grass
'S deirg' do ghruaidh na caor air meangan	More red your cheek than the rowan berry on branch

'S deirg' do ghruaidh na caor air meangan	More red your cheek than the rowan berry on branch
Tha do dheud na dluth-gheal daingeann	Your teeth are white, closely-set and strong
