| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Dh'fhalbh mo rùn 's dh' fhàg e 'n cala | My love has left the harbor |
| Dh'fhalbh mo rùn e ho o hiu | My love has gone e ho o hiu |
| Thog e na siùil ùr ri crannan | He raised the new sail to the mast |
| Dh'fhalbh mo rùn 's dh' fhàg e 'n cala | My love has left the harbor |
| Dh'fhalbh mo leannan 'uam a Ile | My sweetheart has left me from Islay |
| Air long rìomhach nan tri crannan | On the fine three-masted ship |
| Dh'fhalbh mo leannan 'uam a dh'Eireann | My sweetheart has gone from me to Ireland |
| 'S as a dhèidh cha bhi mi fallain | Without him I won't be well |
| Chuala mi gun d'rinn thu rèiteach | I heard you were betrothed |
| 'S gu dè feum a bh'a's a' ghealladh? | So what was your promise worth? |
| Chuala mi gun d'rinn thu pòsadh | I heard you got married |
| 'S cha d' dh' fheòraich thu mi gu d'bhanais | And you didn't invite me to your wedding |
| Chaneil unnam ach nighneag òg | I am but a young girl |
| Is gur e seòladair mo leannan | And it is the sailor that I love |
| Thuirt na mnathan gur e 'm beud e | The women said that it was a pity |
| Gun tug mi mo speìs dhan mharaich' | That I should give my love to the seaman |
| Mo run an Leatheanach Ban | My love is the fair MacLean |
| 'S ann dhut thug mi mo ghràdh 's mo ghealladh | To you I give my love and my promise |
