| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| A fhleasgaich oig as ceanalta | Oh most gentle unmarried youth |
| 'Stu leannan nan deas ghruagach | You hold the hearts of the lovely maidens |
| Do ghaol a rinn mo sharachadh | It was your love that troubles me |
| 'S tha a bhlath sin air mo shnuadh-sa | And the evidence is in my complexion |
| Shiubhlainn fada, fada leat | I would travel far away with you |
| Shiubhliann deas is tuath leat | I would wander north and south with you |
| Is shnamhainn an Cuan Ronadh leat | And swim the Rona Sea with you |
| 'S ri m' bheo 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 siobhalt leam do ghluasad | I find your behaviour most courteous |
| Co chunnaic riamh air urlar thu | Who could ever after seeing you on the floor |
| Nach duraigeadh bhith suas riut? | Not wish to be near you? |
| 'S ged bheireadh Righ Seoras aite dhuinn | Even if King George would grant us |
| Cho ard 's a th'aig duin 'uasal | A situation as high as a nobleman's |
| Gum b'fhearr leam bhith air airigh leat | I would rather be in a sheiling with you |
| An coil na trath 's na luachrach | In a young and rusty wood |
