'S mi leam fhìn an tìr m'aineoil |
In an strange land |

Without sister or brother |

Fhir nan gorm-shùilean meallach |
Oh men of the beguiling blue eyes |

'S ann an Ile tha mo leannan |
My love is in Islay |

And although I do not admit it |
|
Thug mi gràdh dhut 's mi 'm leanabh |
I loved you as a child |
