| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| A fhleasgaich òig as ceanalta | Oh most gentle unmarried youth |
| 'S tu leannan nan deas ghruagach | You hold the hearts of lovely maidens |
| Do ghaol a rinn mo shàrachadh | Your love has made me so distraught |
| 'S tha a bhlàth sin air mo shnuadh-sa | That its effect shows on my cheeks |
| Shiùbhlainn fada, fada leat | I would travel far away with you |
| Shiùbhlainn deas is tuath leat | I would wander north and south with you |
| Is shnàmhainn an Cuan Rònach leat | And swim the Rona Sea with you |
| 'S ri m' bheò cha toirinn fuath dhut | As long as I live, I will not grow to hate you |
| Gur binn thu na na filidhean | You are the most melodious of poets |
| Gur sìobhalt' leam do ghluasad | I find your behavior most courteous |
| Có chunnaic riamh air ùrlar thu | Who could ever after seeing you |
| Nach dùraigeadh bhith suas riut? | On the floor not wish to be with you? |
| 'S ged bheireadh Rìgh Seòras àite dhuinn | Even if King George would grant |
| Cho àrd 's a th'aig duin' uasal | Us a situation as high as a nobleman's |
| Gum b'fheàrr leam bhith air àirigh leat | I would rather be in a sheiling with you |
| An coill' 'na tràth 's na luachrach | In a young and rusty wood |
