| 'S toigh leam Ailean Dubh à Lochaidh | I like dark Alan from Lochy |
| Mo ghaol Ailean donn a' chòta | My love Alan with the brown coat |
| 'S toigh leam Ailean Dubh à Lochaidh | I like dark Alan from Lochy |
| Ailean, Ailean, 's ait leam beò thu | Alan, Alan, I am pleased you're living |
| Sguab thu mo sprèidh bhàrr na mòintich | You swept me cattle from the moorland |
| Loisg thu m' iodhlann choirce is eòrna | You burned my stackyard of oats and barley |
| Mharbh thu mo thiùir bhràithrean òga | You killed my three youthful brothers |
| Mharbh thu m' athair is m' fhear pòsta | You killed my father and my husband |
| 'S ged rinn thu siud 's ait leam beò thu | Though you did that, I'm pleased you're living |
