Lyrics :	English Translation :

Nuair a bha mi'm chaileig ghoraich	When I was a young and foolish girl
Thug mi gaol 'us gradh do'n oigear	I gave my love and affection
Aig am bheil a' phearsa bhòidheach	To a handsome youth
'S cha ghradhaich mi ri m'bheo fear eile	And never will I love anybody else

Sèist :	Chorus (after each verse) :
Hi horò 's na horo eile	Hi horò 's na horo eile
Hi horò 's na horo eile	Hi horò 's na horo eile
Hi horò 's na horo eile	Hi horò 's na horo eile
Gur tu mo luaidh ri'm bheò cha cheil mi	You're my love and as long as I live I won't conceal this

Chaidh mi choill na crann's nan gallan	___
Chuir mi sùil am fiùran maiseach	___
B'ann an Glaschu nam bùthan	___
A thug mi rùn do'n diùlnach fearail	___

Meur a's grinn' air peann a sgriobhas	Those fingers that make a pen write so neatly
'S a chuir gleus air teudan fidhle	That play a tune on the fiddle
'Se do cheòl do thogadh m'inntinn	Your music would lift my soul
An uair a bhithinn sgith fo smalan	When I was sad and weary

Ach tha mise'n dùil 's an dochas	But I live in expectation and hope
Gu'n tig an là 's am bi sinn comhla	That the day will come when we will be united
'S ma bhios tusa dileas domhsa	And if you remain faithful to me
Cha ghràdhaich mi ri'm bheò fear eile	I will never love another man
