| 'S olc an obair | Hateful is the work |
| Aig teachdairean cadail | Of night messengers |
| Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro | Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro |
| Bean òg a' chuil chleadhdaich | The young wife of ringleted hair |
| Aig baile ga càradh | Being laid out in the village |
| Ho ro ho aig toiseach na tràghad | Ho ro at the beginning of the ebb tide |
| Bean òg a' chuil chleadhdaich | The young wife of ringleted hair |
| Aig baile ga càradh | Being laid out in the village |
| Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro | Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro |
| Mairead ni' Ruairidh | Mairead, daughter of Roderick |
| Bean uaisl' an deagh nàdair | A fine, good-natured woman |
| Ho ro ho aig toiseach na tràghad | Ho ro at the beginning of the ebb tide |
| Mairead ni' Ruairidh | Mairead, daughter of Roderick |
| Bean uaisl' an deagh nàdair | A fine, good-natured woman |
| Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro | Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro |
| Dhèanadh an t-aodach | Who would make cloth |
| 'S gum bu chaol bhiodh a snàithlean | Fine would be her thread |
| Ho ro ho aig toiseach na tràghad | Ho ro at the beginning of the ebb tide |
| Dhèanadh an t-aodach | Who would make cloth |
| 'S gum bu chaol bhiodh a snàithlean | Fine would be her thread |
| Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro | Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro |
| Ach a Mhurachaidh ic Iain | But Murdo, son of John |
| Bu tu cridhe na fèile | You were the heart of hospitality |
| Ho ro ho aig toiseach na tràghad | Ho ro at the beginning of the ebb tide |
| Ach a Mhurachaidh ic Iain | But Murdo, son of John |
| Bu tu cridhe na fèile | You were the heart of hospitality |
| Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro | Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro |
| Bu tu sealgair nan aighean | You were the hunter of the hinds |
| 'S an latha ghil ghrèine | On the day of bright sun |
| Ho ro ho aig toiseach na tràghad | Ho ro at the beginning of the ebb tide |
| Bu tu sealgair nan aighean | You were the hunter of the hinds |
| 'S an latha ghil ghrèine | On the day of bright sun |
| Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro | Hu ru agus hullirinn o ho ro |
| Dol timcheall na leacain | Going over the high hill |
| Gun leagadh tu treud dhiu | You would bring down a herd of them |
| Ho ro ho aig toiseach na tràghad | Ho ro at the beginning of the ebb tide |
