Lyrics : English Translation :
   
Mo chridhe trom is duilich leam My heart is heavy
Gur muladach a tha mi My sadness is hard to bear
Mo chridhe briste brùit Mu heart, bruised and broken
Ach air mo shùil chan aithnich cach sin Though none can see it in my eye
Mo chridhe trom is duilich leam My heavy heart is hard to bear
   
Nuair chunnaic mis' an toiseach thu When first I saw you
'Nad shuidh' air stoc a' bhàta Sitting on the tiller of the boat
Se còig bliadhn' deug a dh' aois bha mi I was just fifteen then
A ghaoil nuair thug mi gràdh dhut When I gave you my love
Mo chridhe trom is duilich leam My heavy heart is hard to bear
   
Cuimhnich air do bhòidean rium Remember your vows to me
An Steòrnabhagh a bha sinn That time in Stornoway
'S ann air taobh muigh an Royal It was outside the Royal
Chug thu bòid dhomh nach do phàigh thu You made a vow that you failed to keep
Mo chridhe trom is duilich leam My heavy heart is hard to bear
   
Chuimhnich air do bhriathran rium Remember your words to me
Di-Caidain sios am Bràighe That Wednesday on the Brae
Nach fhaiceadh Dia na daoine You said that neither god nor man
Bean mo chaochlaidh air do ghàirdean Would ever see another on your arm
Mo chridhe trom is duilich leam My heavy heart is hard to bear
   
Ma 'se 's gun tug thu fuath dhomh If you have turned from me
'S a luaidh ma rinn thu m'fhàgail And, my precious, if you have abandoned me
Chan fhad gun dèan an sluagh Soon the people will lay me down
Anns a' chiste fhuair mo chàradh In my cold coffin
Mo chridhe trom is duilich leam My heavy heart is hard to bear
