O thèid gun tèid I shall go, I shall go

Sil ò ro bha hò Sil ò ro bha hò

Hi horan hug ò hil o ro bha hò Hi horan hug ò hil o ro bha hò
   
Gun innis nam bò To the cattle pasture
Far an ceòlmhor annir Where the melodious maiden lives
Gu Bràighe Loch Iall To the Brae of Loch Eil
Far'm bi fiadh san langan Where the bellowing deer are
   
Gu Bràighe Loch Iall To the Brae of Loch Eil
Far'm bi fiadh san langan Where the bellowing deer are
Is earbag nan stùc And the little roe of the peaks
Gu lùthmhor eangarr' That is so strong and nimble
   
Is earbag nan stùc And the little roe of the peaks
Gu lùthmhor eangarr' That is so strong and nimble
A bheann a fhuilt rèidh Oh woman of the fine hair
Guidheam fèin dhuit mo bheannachd I will give you my blessing
   
A bheann a fhuilt rèidh Oh woman of the fine hair
Guidheam fèin dhuit mo bheannachd I will give you my blessing
Mo bheannachd ad dhèidh My blessing goes with you
On as fheudar bhith dealaicht' As we must be parted
