| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Nach truagh mi, righ | It's a pity to God that |
| Gun tri lamhan | I haven't got three hands |
| Da laimh 's a' phiob | Two hands for the pipes |
| Da laimh 's a' phiob | Two hands for the pipes |
| Nach truagh mi, righ | It's a pity to God that |
| Gun tri lamhan | I haven't got three hands |
| Da laimh 's a' phiob | Two hands for the pipes |
| S' lamh 's a' chlaidheamh | And one for the sword |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Eadarainn a' chruit | Between us, the cruit |
| A' chruit, a' chruit | The cruit, the cruit |
| Eadarainn a' chruit | Between us, the cruit |
| Mo chuideachd ar m'fhagail | My supporters have deserted me |
| Eadarainn a luaidh | Between us, my love |
| A luaidh, a luaidh | My love, my love |
| Eadarainn a luaidh | Between us, my love |
| 'S i ghall' uaine a sharaich mi | It's the green bitch who is oppressing me |
| Mo thaobh fodham | On my underside |
| M'fheoil air breothadh | My flesh is putrefying |
| Daol am shuil | A beetle is in my eye |
| Daol am shuil | A beetle is in my eye |
| Da bhior iaruinn | Two marlin-spikes |
| 'Gan sior shiaradh | Are continually doing damage |
| Ann am ghluin | In my knee |
| Ann am ghluin | In my knee |
| Bidh na min bheaga | The wee kids will be |
| 'Nan gobhair chreagach | Goats of the rocks |
| Man tig mise, man till mis' a | Before I come, before I return from |
| Uamh an Oir, Uamh an Oir | The Cave of Gold, the Cave of Gold |
| 'S na lothan cliathta | And the suckling foals |
| 'Nan eich dhiallta | Will be saddled horses |
| Man tig mise, man till mis' a | Before I come, before I return from |
| Uamh an Oir, Uamh an Oir | The Cave of Gold, the Cave of Gold |
| Bidh na laoigh bheaga | The wee calves |
| 'Nan crodh eadraidh | Will be milking cows |
| Man tig mise, man till mis' a | Before I come, before I return from |
| Uamh an Oir, Uamh an Oir | The Cave of Gold, the Cave of Gold |
| 'S na mic uchda | And the suckling sons |
| 'Nam fir fheachda | Will be comely men |
| Man tig mise, man till mis' a | Before I come, before I return from |
| Uamh an Oir, Uamh an Oir | The Cave of Gold, the Cave of Gold |
| 'S iomadh maighdeann | Many a young maiden |
| Og fo ciadbharr | In the first bloom of youth |
| Theid a null | Will pass away |
| Theid a null | Will pass away |
| Man tig mise, man till mis' a | Before I come, before I return from |
| Uamh an Oir, Uamh an Oir | The Cave of Gold, the Cave of Gold |
