Coisich a rùin, hù ill o ro |
Go, my love, hù ill o ro |

M' Aingil-dhìona, o hì ibh o |
My guardian angel, o hì ibh o |

Thoir soraidh bhuam, hù ill o ro |
Carry greetings from me, hù ill o ro |
|
Gu Seamas Seosamh, och hoireann eò |
To James Joseph, och hoireann eò |
| |

Swimming in the quarry, och hoireann eò |

Ach gath-soluis, och hoireann eò |
But moonbeams, och hoireann eò |

Linne ag éirigh, och hoireann eò |
From the pool, och hoireann eò |
