Lyrics : English Translation :
   
Chan e caoidh Mhic Shiridh 'Tis not lamenting o'er MhicShiridh
A dh'fhàg an dil air mo ghruaidh That on my cheeks the tears remain
   
Sèist : Chorus (after each verse) :
Hu oh ro hu oh Hu oh ro hu oh
Ho ro oh hi oh hi oh Ho ro oh hi oh hi oh
Hu oh ro hu oh Hu oh ro hu oh
   
Ach a caoidh mo bhràthair It is lamenting my brother
Chaidh a bhàthadh 'sa chuan For he's the one who's drowned at sea
   
'S duilich leam do chùl chlanaich I am sad to think of your hair
Bhi san fheamainn ga luadh Entwined in the drifting seaweed
   
'S duilich leam do gheal dheudan I am sad to think of your white teeth
Bhi ga reubadh sa chuan Smashed against the rocks
   
Tha do leabaidh gun chàradh I see your bed is not made
Anns ant-seòmar ud shuas In the chamber up there
   
Ach cha teid mi ga càradh I won't be the one to make it
'S fhàd o dh'fhàg thu i fuar As cold you left it long ago
