Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Rinn ni dhomh innse nach biodh tu dìleas I suspected you were going to betray me
Bhuail e m' inntinn iomadach uair It struck my thoughts many times
A d' bhriathran mìlseachd mheall mo chrìdhsa Your honeyed words deceived my heart
A dh'andeoin ditheadh mo chin Despite my head telling me to condemn
   
Sèist: Chorus (after each verse):
An dean thu m' fhàgail tràth air mhadainn Will you desert me in the early morning
Mar nì faileas oidhche ri boillsgeadh grèin? As the shadow of night is dispelled by a flash of sunlight?
Is ceann an làtha seo 'm bì mi cràiteach And at the end of the day will I be broken-hearted
Gun ghaol, gun ghàire, leam fhèin? Without love, without laughter, all alone?
   
Ged fhuair sinn eòlas air iomadach sòlas Although we got to know many aspects of joy
Ged bh' ar stòras loma làn Although our cup was full
Cha b' e gu leòr leat blàs mo phògan The taste of my kisses did not satisfy you
Chaidh thu 'n tòir air cuid chàich You went in pursuit of what belonged to others
   
Dè ceann iùil dhuit is càit an stiùir thu? What is your destination and where will you go?
Bheil do dhùils' air àite taimh? Do you hope for a restful haven?
Ged tha do chùl rium 's deòir am shùilean Although you have turned from me and I am weeping
Riut bi m' dhùrachd ri m' bheò I will love you as long as I live
   
Gun ghaol, gun ghàire, leam fhèin? Without love, without laughter, all alone?
