lyrics:
ailein duinn a luaidh nan leannan
chuala mi gun deach thu thairis

ailein duinn o hi shiubhlainn leat hi ri ri ri oh ho
horan o oh hi oh
ailein duinn o hi shiubhlainn leat

chuala mi gun deach thu thairis
air a’bhàta chaol dhubh dharaich
air a’bhàta chaol dhubh dharaich
‘s gun deach thu air tir am manainn
‘s gun deach thu air tir am manainn
cha be siod mo rogha caladh
chuala mi gun deach do bhathadh
gura truagh nach mi bha’n laimh riut
