Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho... |

Chì mi, chì mi fada bhuam |
I see, I see afar off |
|
Eho hia gu ill eo |
Eho hia gu ill eo |
|
Chì mi 'n taobh deas 's an taobh tuath |
I can see to the south and the north |
|
Eho hill ill u |
Eho hill ill u |
|
Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
|
Eho hia gu ill eo |
Eho hia gu ill eo |

|
Eho hia gu ill eo |
Eho hia gu ill eo |
|
'Se mo cheist an gille donn |
My beloved is the brown-haired lad |
|
Eho hill ill u |

My beloved is the brown-haired lad |
|
Eho hia gu ill eo |
Eho hia gu ill eo |
|
Dhìreadh a bharraibh nan crann |
Who could climb to the tops of the masts |
|
Eho hill ill u |
Eho hill ill u |
|
Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
|
Eho hia gu ill eo |
Eho hia gu ill eo |

|
|
Dhìreadh a bharraibh nan crann |
Who could climb to the tops of the masts |
|
Eho hia gu ill eo |
Eho hia gu ill eo |
|
Bheireadh air an fhidhill pong |
Who could make the fiddle sing |
|
Eho hill ill u |
Eho hill ill u |
|
Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
|
Eho hia gu ill eo |

Bheireadh air an fhidhill pong |
Who could make the fiddle sing |
|
Eho hia gu ill eo |
Eho hia gu ill eo |
|
Air an fhidhill 's air an tromb |
The fiddle and the jew's harp |
|
Eho hill ill u |
Eho hill ill u |
|
Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
|
Eho hia gu ill eo |
Eho hia gu ill eo |

Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
Haoiri hillinn ho ho ro ho |
|
Eho hia gu ill eo |
