M'eudail air do shùilean donna

Sèist: Chorus:
M' eudail air do shùilean donna I love your brown eyes
Air do shùilean 's air do bhodhaig Your eyes and your shape
M' eudail air do shùilean donna I love your brown eyes
'S air do bhodhaig bhòidhich And your comely shape
   
Gar am faighinn idir thu If only I were to get you
Gar am faighinn fhìn thu If only I were to get you to myself
Gar am faighinn idir thu If only I were to get you
Na'n dèanadh tu mo dhìcheall If you would allow me to persevere
   
B' fhèarr leam fhìn na mìle not' I wish more than a thousand pounds
B' fhèarr leam fhìn na'n daoimean I wish more than diamonds
B' fhèarr leam fhìn na mìle not' I wish more than a thousand pounds
Gur e nochd anoidhche That tonight were the night
   
B' fhèarr leam fhìn gu robh thu agam I wish you were mine
B' fhèarr leam fhìn na'n t-òr e I wish it more than gold
B' fhèarr leam fhìn gu robh thu agam I wish you were mine
'S e do mhais a leòn mi Your beauty has wounded me
