| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Mo chràdhghal bochd | Sad and heartsore my weeping |
| Mar a tha mi nochd | For I find myself tonight |
| 'S mi gun tàmh gun fhios gun sunnd | Without rest, without peace, without cheer |
| Mo chràdhghal bochd | Sad and heartsore my weeping |
| Mar a tha mi nochd | For I find myself tonight |
| 'S mi gun tàmh gun fhios gun sunnd | Without rest, without peace, without cheer |
| Gun sùrd ri stàth | With no will for anything that profits |
| Gun dùil ri bhith slàn | Without hope to be well |
| Chaidh mo shùgradh gu bràth air chùl | My joy is vanished forever more |
| Gun sùrd ri stàth | With no will for anything that profits |
| Gun dùil ri bhith slàn | Without hope to be well |
| Chaidh mo shùgradh gu bràth air chùl | My joy is vanished forever more |
| Mu dheagh mhac Ruairidh nan long | Because of grief for the son of Roderick of the ships |
| Làmh a libhrigadh bhonn | His a hand to lavish wealth |
| 'S a bha measail air fonn luchd ciùil | And who esteemed the minstrels' song |
| Mu dheagh mhac Ruairidh nan long | Because of grief for the son of Roderick of the ships |
| Làmh a libhrigadh bhonn | His a hand to lavish wealth |
| 'S a bha measail air fonn luchd ciùil | And who esteemed the minstrels' song |
| 'S e bhith smuaineachadh ort | It is thinking of you |
| A chràidh mi am chorp | That has tortured my body |
| Is a chnàmh na roisg bho m' shùil | And wasted the lashes from my eyes |
| 'S e bhith smuaineachadh ort | It is thinking of you |
| A chràidh mi am chorp | That has tortured my body |
| Is a chnàmh na roisg bho m' shùil | And wasted the lashes from my eyes |
| Mi ri smuaintean bochd truagh | Thinking sadly and sorrowfully |
| Is ri iomradh baoth buan | And ever vainly recalling |
| 'S mi gad ionndrainn-sa bhuam, 's tu b'fhiù | And longing for you as well you deserved |
| Mi ri smuaintean bochd truagh | Thinking sadly and sorrowfully |
| Is ri iomradh baoth buan | And ever vainly recalling |
| 'S mi gad ionndrainn-sa bhuam, 's tu b'fhiù | And longing for you as well you deserved |
| Deagh shealgair am frìth | Rare hunter in a forest |
| Bha gun cheilg do thaigh rìgh | You were without guile towards the royal house |
| Agus seirbheisach dileas crùin | And a loyal servant of the crown |
| Deagh shealgair am frìth | Rare hunter in a forest |
| Bha gun cheilg do thaigh rìgh | You were without guile towards the royal house |
| Agus seirbheisach dileas crùin | And a loyal servant of the crown |
| Tha do chinneadh fo ghruaim | Your kindred are in gloom |
| 'S gach aon fhine mun cuairt | As are those of every name around |
| On là grinnicheadh d'uaigh sa chrùist | Since your tomb was made ready in the vault |
| Tha do chinneadh fo ghruaim | Your kindred are in gloom |
| 'S gach aon fhine mun cuairt | As are those of every name around |
| On là grinnicheadh d'uaigh sa chrùist | Since your tomb was made ready in the vault |
| Mun t-sàr ghaisgeach dheas threum | For the prime warrior, agile and strong |
| Ann am batail nan ceud | In the battle of hundreds |
| Cha bu lapach sàs leum ud thu | In that onset you were not sluggish |
| Mun t-sàr ghaisgeach dheas threum | For the prime warrior, agile and strong |
| Ann am batail nan ceud | In the battle of hundreds |
| Cha bu lapach sàs leum ud thu | In that onset you were not sluggish |
| Làmh churanta chruaidh | Yours a hand heroic and hardy |
| Ann an iomairt 's gach buaidh | In contest and every victory |
| Chan uarrainn domh d'uaisle, ruin | Your nobility, dear one, is no longer my support |
| Làmh churanta chruaidh | Yours a hand heroic and hardy |
| Ann an iomairt 's gach buaidh | In contest and every victory |
| Chan uarrainn domh d'uaisle, ruin | Your nobility, dear one, is no longer my support |
| Do thaigh talla fo ghruaim | Your mansion is in gloom |
| 'S e gun aighear gun uaill | Without mirth, without pomp |
| Far'm bu mhinig a fhuair sinn cuirm | Where often we received a feast |
| Do thaigh talla fo ghruaim | Your mansion is in gloom |
