| Appears On : | Eilean Mara |
| Language : | Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) |
| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Ged is grianach an latha | Although the day may be sunny |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| O hao ri ri ho ro | O hao ri ri ho ro |
| Hura bho ro ha ho | Hura bho ro ha ho |
| Hao ri ri ho | Hao ri ri ho |
| Gur beag m'aighear ri bhoidhchead | Little joy for me its beauty |
| 'S mi ri coimhead a' chaolais | As I'm watching o'er the channel |
| 'S gun mo ghaol-sa 'ga sheoladh | And my love is not there sailing |
| Ach nam faicinn thu tighinn | But if I should see you coming |
| 'S mi gu rachadh 'nad choinneamh | I would go to meet you |
| Air mo bhonnan gun bhrogan | On my feet, no shoes be wearing |
| 'S a dh'aindheoin luchd diumbaidh | In spite of those so disapproving |
| 'S mi gun duraigeadh pog dhut | To give you a kiss I would be wanting |
| Ged a chuirte mi'm sheasamh | Though it means I would be standing |
| Air an t-seisean Di-domhnaich | On the repentance stool on Sunday |
| Ann am fianais na cleire | There in front of the entire community |
| 'S gun ach leine 'gam chomhdach | With only a shirt to wear for clothing |
