| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| A Mhairead òg 's tu rinn mo leon | Oh young Margaret, you caused me pain |
| 'S tu dh'fhag fo bhron 's fo mhulad mi | You left me with grief and heartache |
| 'N diugh 's an dè air cnoc leam fhein | Today and yesterday on a hillock on my own |
| A' sileadh dheur 's mi turraman | Rocking in my grief |
| 'N diugh 's an dè air cnoc leam fhein | Today and yesterday on a hillock on my own |
| A' sileadh dheur 's mi turraman | Rocking in my grief |
| Och 'si mo mhathair rinn an call | It was my mother who caused the damage |
| Nuair chuir i shealag na tunnaig mi | When she sent me to hunt the ducks |
| Och 'si mo mhathair rinn an call | It was my mother who caused the damage |
| Nuair chuir i shealag na tunnaig mi | When she sent me to hunt the ducks |
| Nuair rainaig mi an leinne caol | When I reached the narrow loch |
| 'Sann bha mo ghaol 'a srulagh innte | Where my love was washing |
| Nuair rainaig mi an leinne caol | When I reached the narrow loch |
| 'Sann bha mo ghaol 'a srulagh innte | Where my love was washing |
| 'Se 'n gunna caol a rinn mo leon | It was the slim gun that caused the pain |
| Cha teid e oirleach tuilleadh leam | It won't go another inch with me |
| 'Se 'n gunna caol a rinn mo leon | It was the slim gun that caused the pain |
| Cha teid e oirleach tuilleadh leam | It won't go another inch with me |
| 'S ann teid rinn dhomsa linne caol | The one who made the white shirt |
| Cha dean thu ghaol gi'n tuilleadh | You will never, my love, make another one |
