| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| 'Se mo laoch mo Ghille mear | My hero is the joyous lad |
| 'Se mo Sheusar Gille mear | My Caesar is the joyous lad |
| Fois na sìth chan fhaigh mi fhèin | I will get neither rest nor peace |
| On dh'imich e bhuam mo Ghille mear | Since my joyous lad left me |
| Bha mi uair nam mhaighdinn shèimh | I was once a quiet maid |
| 'S tha mi nis' nam bhantraich chlaoidht' | Now I am a fatigued, old widow |
| Mo chèile treabhadh nan tonn gu treum | My spouse mightily plowing the waves |
| Air bhàrr nan stuadh is fad' o thìr | On the crests of the waves and far from land |
| Tha mi 'n seo gach latha fo sgleò | I am here each day depressed |
| Goirt a' caoidh 's a' sileadh dheur | Lamenting and shedding tears |
| Am buachaill' òg air imich uam | The young man has left me |
| Gun sgeul air fhèin 's e fàth mo bhròin | With no news of him, I am sad |
| Ach cluinneam ceòl na clàrsach 's dàn | But let me hear harp music and songs |
| 'S faiceam iomadh cuach bhith làn | Let me see each cup filled |
| Làn toileachais gun luchd 's gun dheòir | Full of mirth without hurt or tears |
| Gus slàinte òl dham leòmhann chòir | To drink the health of my fine lion |
| (Sèist 3x) | (Chorus 3x) |
