| Lyrics: | English Translation: |
| Dean cadalan sàmhach | Sleep peacefully |
| A chuilean mo rùin | My dear little one |
| Dean fuireach mar tha thu | Live as you are |
| 'S tu 'n dràsd an àit ùr | Now in a new place |
| Bidh òigearan againn | There'll be young men amongst us |
| Làn beartais is cliù | Who win great riches and reknown |
| 'S ma bhios tu 'nad airidh | And if you're a good girl |
| 'S leat feareigin dhiù | One of them will be for you |
| Gur ann an America | We are now |
| Tha sinn an drasd' | In America |
| Fo dhubhar na coille | In the shade |
| Nach teirig gu brath | Of the never-ending forest |
| 'N uair dh'fhalbhas an dulachd | When winter departs |
| 'S a thionndaigh's am blaths | And warmth returns |
| Bithidh cnothan, bith ubhlan | Nuts, apples |
| 'S bithidh an siuca a fas | And sugar will grow |
|
Leaving for an unknown shore With every breeze just like a sigh The sea is deep with tears of those before With feelings like the seabirds' cry It gently took me by the hand Across the ocean blue And placed me in a foreign land Far away from you |
|
|
No more the ancient conversation Replies with just a nod No fiddle plays a lamentation No slowly burning sod No smiles await on Ellis Fears of the unknown Only tired hearts of the countless People taken from their homes |
|
|
To be drawn across an ocean This crooked path we pave On earth's eternal motion To be a servant to the slave |
|
| Hi ri ri ri o ro eile | Hi ri ri ri o ro eile |
| Hi ri ri ri o | Hi ri ri ri o |
| Hi ri ri ri o ro eile | Hi ri ri ri o ro eile |
| Hi ri ri ri o | Hi ri ri ri o |
|
Wait and yearn to be released As the ground beneath you heaves Turn your gaze to the east Reflect on what the cold wake leaves |
|
|
To be drawn across an ocean This crooked path we pave On earth's eternal motion To be a servant to the slave (2x) |
