| Appears On : | Seinn! O Ho Ro Seinn! |
| Language : | Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) |
| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Teann a nall 's thoir dhomh do làmh | Come, let's wander hand in hand |
| Teann a nall 's thoir dhomh do làmh | Come, let's wander hand in hand |
| Teann a nall 's thoir dhomh do làmh | Come, let's wander hand in hand |
| Is bheir mi sgrìob do dh'Uidhist leat | And take a trip to Uist with me |
| Tha'm feasgar ciùin 's na siantan blàth | The evening's calm, the weather warm |
| Tha 'ghrian san iar mar mheall de'n òr | The western sun is an orb of gold |
| Tha'n cuan mar sgàthan gorm gun sgleò | The sea is a mirror, clear and blue |
| 'S bu mhòr mo mhiann bhith'n dh'Uidhist leat | I long to be in Uist with you |
| Tha sìth air aghaidh beinn is raon | There's peace across the moors and glens |
| Tha fàileadh cùbhraidh thar am fhraoich | And sweetly smell the heather bens |
| Tha neòinean bhòidheach fàs gach taobh | Fair are the flowers, bright their hue |
| 'S bu mhòr mo mhiann bhi'n Uidhist leat | I long to be in Uist with you |
| Is dìomhain dhuinne bhith cho faoin | How can we be such silly fools |
| A'siubhal saoghail ruith gach maoin | To roam the world in search of fame? |
| Tha beatha 's slàint an tìr mo ghaoil | There's health and wealth in the isle I love |
| 'S gun tèid mi thàmh do dh'Uidhist leat | And I shall stay in Uist with you |
