| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| 'S mise tha gu muladach | Melancholy am I |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| 'S na hóró laoi leó | 'S na horo laoi leo |
| Seinn óro nàilibh | Seinn oro nailibh |
| 'S na hóró laoi leó | 'S na horo laoi leo |
| A h-uile té a' pòsadh | All the lasses getting married |
| Mise seo gun phòsadh fhathasd | Here I am still single |
| Bodachan cha phòs mi | A little old I'll not wed |
| Bithidh e fada 'g éirigh | Too long he'll lie in his bed |
| Fada dol 'na éideadh | He'll take forever to get dressed |
| Fada fada ri cuir uime | Ages to put on his vest |
| Cha ghabh mise ludar bodaich | I'll not take a clumsy old man |
| Cha tèid a mach gun am bata | He won't go out without his stick |
| Cha tig e steach gun a casda | He'll not come in without coughing |
| Seann duine cha ghabh, cha ghabh mi | An old man for me is not in the offing |
| Saoilidh e gur grian a' ghealach | He thinks the moon is the sun |
| Saoilidh e gur siùcar sneachda | He thinks that snow is sugar |
| Saoilidh e gur cuan am monadh | He thinks the moor is the ocean |
| B'annsa balach sgiobalta | I'd rather an agile young fellow |
| Leagadh mi's a thogadh mi | Who'd lay me down and lift me up |
| Bheireadh mi a' feithe | Who'd pull me out of a bog |
