Tekst piosenki
Gura mise tha fo islean
Moch sa mhaduinn is mi g'irigh
Sist: h shibhlainn leat
H ri bh h ru bh
H ri bh h rinn o ho
Ailein Duinn, h shibhlainn 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 rin do luchd-faire
Dh'lainn deoch ge b' oil le cch e
De dh'fhuil do choim 's tu 'n didh do bhathadh
Translation
How sorrowful I am
Early in the morning rising
Chorus (after each verse): h, I would go with thee
H ri bh h ru bh
H ri bh h rinn o ho
Brown-haired Alan, h, 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
