Sèist: Chorus:
O hoireann ó, có nì mire rium? O hoireann ó, who will have fun with me?
Hù hoireann ó, có nì mire rium? Hù hoireann ó, who will have fun with me?
O hoireann ó, có nì mire rium? O hoireann ó, who will have fun with me?
   
Có nì sùgradh? Có nì cinnealtas? Who will flirt with me? Who will be nice to me?
   
Có nì sùgradh? Có nì cinnealtas? Who will flirt with me? Who will be nice to me?
   
Có nì à, mur dian na gillean à? Who will, unless the young men will?
   
Có nì à, mur dian na gillean à? Who will, unless the young men will?
   
Latha dhomh 's mi falbh 'sna fireachan One day I took off into the mountain moors
   
Latha dhomh 's mi falbh 'sna fireachan One day I took off into the mountain moors
   
Thachair orm a' ghruagach chinnealta I came across a nice young lass
   
Thachair orm a' ghruagach chinnealta I came across a nice young lass
   
Theann mi null is fhuair mi bruidhinn dhi I went over and got her to talk with me
   
Theann mi null is fhuair mi bruidhinn dhi I went over and got her to talk with me
   
'S dh'fhoighneachd mi gu dé bu chinneadh dhi? And I asked her what her surname was
   
Thuirt i riumsa "Tha bann-Sisalach" She said, "I'm a Chisolm"
   
'S thuirt mi rith' gum b'e mo chinneadh à And I told her that that was my clan
   
Thuirt i rium "Cha bhi mo thurus riut She said to me, "I'll have nothing to do with you
   
Gura Leathanach mo roghainn-sa I prefer MacLeans
   
Gun dian Dòmhnallach mo choinneachadh" And a MacDonald will be coming to see me"
