Lyrics : English Translation :
Gur e mis' tha gu tinn I am very unwell
Sèist : Chorus (after each verse) :
E ho hù o hù o E ho hù o hù o
Hao ri ri o hù o Hao ri ri o hù o
Ro ho hì ho hì o Ro ho hì ho hì o
Chan e goirteas mo chìnn It is not my head that feels the pain
Ach na chuir mi dhan chìll But the one I buried
Gaol ise 's luaidh i My love, my beloved
Mi cuimir 's mi cruinn I am bonnie, I am plump
'S mi gu biorshùileach bìnn I, with the sweet, bright eye
Mar chuthaig air craoibh Like a cuckoo in a tree
Mar smeòrach air bèinn Like a thrush on the hill
Mi dualach 's mi donn With my long, curly locks
