Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Chuir iad mise dh'eilean leam fhìn They sent me alone to an island
Chuir iad mise dh'eilean leam fhìn They sent me alone to an island
Chuir iad mise dh'eilean leam fhìn They sent me alone to an island
Eilean mara fada bho thìr An island of the sea, far from land
   
'S toigh le Uilleam Ann' againn fhìn William likes our Anne
'S toigh le Uilleam Ann' againn fhìn William likes our Anne
'S toigh le Uilleam Ann' againn fhìn William likes our Anne
'S toigh le Ruairidh gruagach a'chruidh Ruairidh likes the cattle maid
   
Chuir iad mise dh'eilean leam fhìn They sent me alone to an island
Chuir iad mise dh'eilean leam fhìn They sent me alone to an island
Chuir iad mise dh'eilean leam fhìn They sent me alone to an island
Eilean mara fada bho thìr An island of the sea, far from land
   
'S toigh le Ailean bean na fhuilt dhuinn Allan likes the brown-haired woman
'S toigh le Ailean bean na fhuilt dhuinn Allan likes the brown-haired woman
'S toigh le Ailean bean na fhuilt dhuinn Allan likes the brown-haired woman
'S toigh le Ruairidh buaile chrodh laoidh Ruairidh likes the cowherdess
   
Chuir iad mise dh'eilean leam fhìn They sent me alone to an island
Chuir iad mise dh'eilean leam fhìn They sent me alone to an island
Chuir iad mise dh'eilean leam fhìn They sent me alone to an island
Eilean mara fada bho thìr An island of the sea, far from land
