| Ille bhig gu'n togainn thogainn | Little boy, I'll lift, lift |

| Tog an gille beag dha'n athar | Lift the little boy up in the air |
| Mile rionnag ann a' tamh | Where a thousand stars abide |
| Tulg e dhoimhneachd na mara | Rock him to the depths of the ocean |
| Far'eil iasgan beag a snamh | Where litte fishes dwell |
| 'S ged a bhitheadh go mhathair uairean saraicht' | Your mother is sometimes tired |
| Tulgadh sios is tulgadh suas | Rocking you up and down |
| Doigh is toilgheas do mhathair | Your mother's joyful tears |
| Ille bhig cha tuig thu riamh | You'll never understand |
