Lyrics : English Translation :
   
Bidh mi smaointinn gaol na h-òig' I think on young love
'S an òigh thug mi á Garrabost And the maiden I took from Garrabost
Gun tug sinn fichead bliadhna pòsd' We were married for twenty years
Ach brònach chaidh ar dealachadh But we were sadly parted
   
Thug sinn fichead bliadhna pòsd' We were married for twenty years
Is bha sinn òg ri leannanachd And we were youthful sweethearts
Is 'nuair a b' fhèarr a bha ar dòigh And when our circumstances were at their best
Nach brònach rinn sinn dealachadh Our parting was so sorrowful
   
Chan iongnadh ged a dh' fhàsainn liath It is no wonder that I am going gray
'S mo chiabhagan bhith tanachadh And that my hair is thinning
Ma theid mi tarsuinn air an t-sàil' If I should go over the sea
'S ga fàgail ann an Aignis Leaving her in Aignish
   
Cha d' smaoinich sinn a riamh 's i beò We never thought while she was alive
Gu 'm biodh cuan mòr 'g ar dealachadh That the wide ocean would separate us
Gu 'm biodh i adhlaicht' air an Aoidh And that she would be buried in Eye cemetary
Is mis' fo chraoibh an Canada And I under the trees in Canada
