Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
   
A nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu Brown-haired girl, I like you
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu Ho ro you are my choice
'S a nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu And brown-haired girl, I like you
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
A nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu Brown-haired girl, I like you
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu Ho ro you are my choice
'S a nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu And brown-haired girl, I like you
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
   
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
   
A nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu Brown-haired girl, I like you
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu Ho ro you are my choice
'S a nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu And brown-haired girl, I like you
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
A nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu Brown-haired girl, I like you
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu Ho ro you are my choice
'S a nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu And brown-haired girl, I like you
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
   
Nuair sheasadh tu air urlar When you stand on the floor
Dhannsadh to gu luth-mhor You would dance so gracefully
'S ged bhithinn anns a' chuil And although I would be in the background
Bhiodh mo shuil or a bhoichead My eye would be on your beauty
Nuair sheasadh tu air urlar When you stand on the floor
Dhannsadh to gu luth-mhor You would dance so gracefully
'S ged bhithinn anns a' chuil And although I would be in the background
Bhiodh mo shuil or a bhoichead My eye would be on your beauty
   
A nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu Brown-haired girl, I like you
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu Ho ro you are my choice
'S a nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu And brown-haired girl, I like you
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
A nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu Brown-haired girl, I like you
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu Ho ro you are my choice
'S a nigh'n donn 's toigh leam thu And brown-haired girl, I like you
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
   
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
   
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead I would choose your beauty
   
Sčist: Chorus (after each verse):
Ghealaich ghil a dh'fhoillsich fearann Bright white moon that casts light on land
E ho hi ri ri o ho E ho hi ri ri o ho
Ho ro o, o hu o Ho ro o, o hu o
E ho hi ri ri o ho E ho hi ri ri o ho
   
Siubhal fo lan eideadh Moving under full sail
Mathair nan reula The mother of the stars
Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho
   
O na bi'n eud ruinn Oh don't be jealous of us
A bheathaich na ceudan You who have provided for hundreds
Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho
   
Thoir dhuinn tha 'g eirigh Give to us who are climbing
Boid nach eireadh beud dhuinn A solemn promise that no harm will come to us
Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho
   
Iobair air reitich A sacrifice at a betrothal
Gu meudach na spreidhe To increase the cattle
Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho
   
Hi ri o ho Hi ri o ho
Hi ri o ho Hi ri o ho
