| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| S'iomadh oidhche fhliuch is thioram | Many a night, wet and dry |
| Sìde nan seachd sian | Even in the worst of weather |
| Gheibheadh Griogal dhòmhsa creagan | Gregor would find a little rock for me |
| Ris an gabhainn dìon | Beside which I could shelter |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Òbhan òbhan òbhan ìri | Obhan obhan obhan iri |
| Òbhan ìri ò | Obhan iri o |
| Òbhan òbhan òbhan ìri | Obhan obhan obhan iri |
| 'S mòr mo mhulad 's mòr | Great indeed is my sorrow |
| Dhìrich mi dhan t-seòmar mhullaich | I ascended to the topmost rooms |
| 'S thèirinn mi'n taigh-làir | And I descended to the ground floor house |
| 'S cha d'fhuair mise Griogal Cridhe | And I did not find my beloved Gregor |
| 'Na shuidhe mu'n chlàr | Sitting at the table |
| Eudail mhòir de shluagh an domhain | Great sweetheart of all people of the world |
| Dhòirt iad d'fuil an dè | They poured your blood yesterday |
| 'S chuir iad do cheann air stob daraich | And they put your head on an oak stick |
| Tacan beag bho d'chrè | A short distance from your body |
| B'annsa bhith le Griogal Cridhe | I would like to be with my beloved Gregor |
| Teàrnadh chruidh le gleann | Driving cattle down the glen |
| Na le Baran mòr na Dalach | Than with the big Baron of Dall |
| Sìoda geal mu'm cheann | With white silk around my head |
