Gura mise tha fo éislean Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'éirigh
Sèist: Ò hì shiùbhlainn leat Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho Ailein Duinn, ò hì shiùbhlainn leat
Ma 's e 'n cluasag dhuit a ghaineamh Ma 's e leabaidh dhut an gheamainn
Ma 's e 'n t-iasg do choinlean geala Ma 's e na ròin do luchd-faire
Dh'òlainn deoch ge b' oil le càch e De dh'fhuil do choim 's tu 'n déidh do bhathadh --------------------------------------- How sorrowful I am Early in the morning rising
Chorus (after each verse): Ò hì, I would go with thee Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho Brown-haired Alan, ò hì, I would go with thee
If it is thy pillow the sand If it is thy bed the seaweed
If it is the fish thy candles bright If it is the seals thy watchmen
I would drink, though all would abhor it Of thy heart's blood after thy drowning
