| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Latha dhomh 's mi buain a choirce | One day while reaping oats |
| Gheàrr mi'm beum 's cha robh e socair | I cut a handful of corn, and it was not easy |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Hò rò na ho ri ri ò | Hò rò na ho ri ri ò |
| Hi ri ri ri ho ro eile | Hi ri ri ri ho ro eile |
| Hò rò na ho ri ri ò | Hò rò na ho ri ri ò |
| Gheàrr mi'm beum 's cha robh e socair | I cut a handful of corn, and it was not easy |
| Shuidh mi air uachdair a'ghoirtein | I sat by the edge of the cornfield |
| Shuidh mi air uachdair a'ghoirtein | I sat by the edge of the cornfield |
| Dh'fheuch am faicinn fear do choltais | To see if I could see one like you |
| Dh'fheuch am faicinn fear do choltais | To see if I could see one like you |
| Fear chùil duinn 's nan gruaidhean dosrach | The one with brown locks and plummy cheeks |
| Fhaoileag bheag a shnàmhas an cala | Little seagull who can swim the harbor |
| Beir mo shoraidh bhuam gu m' leannan | Take my respects from me to my lover |
