| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Gura mise tha fo èislean | I am full of grief |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Ho ho ro ho gu | Ho ho ro ho gu |
| Hao ri u ri bho eile | Hao ri u ri bho eile |
| Ho ho ro ho gu | Ho ho ro ho gu |
| Moch 'sa mhaduinn 's mi 'g èirigh | As I rise early in the morning |
| Chi mi 'n eilid sa cèile | I see the hind and her mate |
| 'S iad a'mire ri chèile | They are playing happily together |
| A righ nach buidhe dhaibh pèin sin | Oh God, aren't they the lucky ones |
| Chan ionnan 's mar dh'èirich | It is not like this |
| Dhomh 's do dh'Iain Mac Sheaumais | For me and Iain, son of James |
| Chuir iad thusa Ghleann Gèige | They sent you to the glen of the branches |
| A bhuachailleachd sprèidhe | To herd cattle |
| Agus mis' a Dhun Èideann | And me to Edinburgh |
| A dh'ionnsachadh Beurla | To learn English |
| Agus Fraingis is Grèigis | And French and Greek |
