Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Oganaich ùir a rinn m' fhàgail Oh noble youth who has left me
   
Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho
Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag
Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
   
Chum thu air deireadh air chàch mi You have kept me behind all the others
   
Gun fhios dha m'athair no m' mhàthair Unknown to my father or mother
   
Gun fhios dham phiuthar no m' bhràithair Unknown to sister or brother
   
A bhean ud thall aig a chuibhle Oh woman at the spinning wheel
   
Fhios agad fhèin mar a tha mo chridhe You know how my heart is
   
Caimbeulach òg oirre shiubhal A young Campbell in your possession
   
'S nach fhaigh mi baisteadh an Uibhist I will not get a baptism in Uist
   
Gu ruig mi fear a' chùil bhuidhe Until I reach the yellow-haired man
   
Chum thu air deireadh air chàch mi You have kept me behind all the others
