| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Chì mi, chì mi, chì mi thallad | I see, I see, I see yonder |
| Chì mi na fèidh air a' bhearradh | I see the deer on the slope |
| Sèist : | Chorus : |
| Ho rì him bo hill o horo ho | Ho rì him bo hill o horo ho |
| Ho rì him bo hìrì dhiù | Ho rì him bo hìrì dhiù |
| Ho rì him bo hill o horo ho | Ho rì him bo hill o horo ho |
| Chì mi na fèidh air a' bhearradh | I see the deer on the slope |
| 'S an giòmanach fhèin 'nan deaghaidh | With the hunter himself following them |
| Ho rì him bo hill o horo ho | Ho ri him bo hill o horo ho |
| 'S an giòmanach fhèin 'nan deaghaidh | With the hunter himself following them |
| Le ghunna caol 's le bhreacan baraich | With his slender gun and his flowing plaid |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
| Le ghunna caol 's le bhreacan baraich | With his slender gun and his flowing plaid |
| Dìreadh bheann 's a' teàrnadh ghleannan | Climbing hills and coming down glens |
| Ho rì him bo hill o horo ho | Ho ri him bo hill o horo ho |
| Dìreadh bheann 's a' teàrnadh ghleannan | Climbing hills and coming down glens |
| Dh'fhàg thu an damh donn gun anail | You left the brown stag lifeless |
| Dh'fhàg thu an damh donn gun anail | You left the brown stag lifeless |
| Anns an fhraoch a' sìleadh faladh | In the heather, pouring with blood |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
| Anns an fhraoch a' sìleadh faladh | In the heather, pouring with blood |
| Bha do mhial-choin sgìth 'ga leanailt | Your deerhounds were tired out following it |
| Ho rì him bo hill o horo ho | Ho ri him bo hill o horo ho |
| Bha do mhial-choin sgìth 'ga leanailt | Your deerhounds were tired out following it |
| 'S bha na gillean sgìth 'ga tharrainn | Your gillies were tired out dragging it |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
| 'S bha na gillean sgìth 'ga tharrainn | Your gillies were tired out dragging it |
| 'M beul an aonaich tighinn go baile | At the edge of the hill coming home |
| Ho rì him bo hill o horo ho | Ho ri him bo hill o horo ho |
| 'M beul an aonaich tighinn go baile | At the edge of the hill coming home |
| Bhon am faighte biadh gun ghainne | Where food is to be got, without stinting |
| (Sèist...) | (Chorus...) |
