| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Cò ni mire rium? | Who will flirt with me? |
| Hù hoireann ò, cò ni mire rium? | Hù hoireann ò, who will flirt with me? |
| O hoireann ò, cò ni mire rium? | O hoireann ò, who will flirt with me? |
| Cò ni sugradh, cò ni cinnealtas? | Who will flirt with me, who'll show kind? |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| O hoireann ò, cò ni mire rium? | O hoireann ò, who will flirt with me? |
| Hù hoireann ò, cò ni mire rium? | Hù hoireann ò, who will flirt with me? |
| O hoireann ò, cò ni mire rium? | O hoireann ò, who will flirt with me? |
| Cò ni e mur dian na gillean e? | Who'll do that unless the young men will? |
| Latha dhomh 's mi falbh nam fireachan | One day as I walked the mountain moors |
| Thachair orm a' ghruagach chinnealta | A kindly lass I encountered there |
| Sgian beag na laimh 's i buain biolaire | A little knife in her hand, plucking watercress |
| 'S i buain cointean an cois na linneadh ud | Plucking flowers by yon river pool |
| Theann mi null is fhuair mi bruidhinn rith' | I went over and got to talk with her |
| 'S dh'fhoighnich mi gu de bu chinneadh dhi | I asked what clan she belonged to |
| 'S thuirt i riumsa, "Tha bann-Siosalach" | She said to me, "I'm a Chisolm girl" |
| Thuirt mi rith' gum b'e mo chinneadh e | I said to her I was a Chisolm, too |
| Thuirt i rium, "Cha bhi mo thuras riut | She said to me, "I'll have nothing to do with you |
| Gura Leathanach mo roghainn-sa | A MacLean is my preference |
| Gun dian Domhnallach mo choinneachadh" | And a MacDonald will be meeting me" |
