Seinn an duan seo dhan Innis Àigh
Sing this song to the Happy Isle
An innis uaine as gile tràigh
The green isle of whitest sands
Bidh sian air uairean a' bagairt cruaidh ris
Though storms at times threaten severely
Ach se mo luaidh-sa bhith ann a' tàmh
It is where I love to be
Càit' as tràith an tig samhradh caomh
Where does summer come earlier?
Càit' as tràith an tig blàth air craobh
Where do trees come into bloom sooner?
Càit' as bòidhche 's an seinn an smeòrach
Where does the thrush sing more sweetly
Air bhàrr nan ògan 's an Innis Àigh
On the tips of branches, than in the Happy Isle?
An t-iasg as fiachaile dlùth don tràigh
The most prized fish closest to land
Is ann ma chrìochan is miann leis tàmh
Wishes to live about its shores
Bidh gillean easgaidh le dorgh is lìontan
Lively youths hunt it early in the morning
Moch, moch ga iarriadh mun Innis Àigh
With line and net, around the Happy Isle
'S ged thèid mi cuairt chun an taoibh ud thall
And although I sometimes go to the mainland
'S mi 'n dùil air uairibh gu fan mi ann
And at times even think that I could stay there
Tha tàladh uaigneach le teas nach fuairich
A sad longing whose heat never cools
Gam tharraing buan don Innis Àigh
Always draws me back to the Happy Isle
O 's geàrr an ùine gu'n teirig latha
It is only a short time until the close of day
Thig an oidhche 's gun iarr mi tàmh
Night will come and I will want for rest
Mo chadal buan-sa bidh e cho suaimhneach
My eternal sleep will be so peaceful
Mo bhios mo chluasag 's an Innis Àigh
If I lay my head in the Happy Isle
