'S toigh leam Ailean Dubh à Lochaidh I like dark Alan from Lochy
Mo ghaol Ailean donn a' chòta My love Alan with the brown coat
'S toigh leam Ailean Dubh à Lochaidh I like dark Alan from Lochy
   
Ailean, Ailean, 's ait leam beò thu Alan, Alan, I am pleased you're living
   
Sguab thu mo sprèidh bhàrr na mòintich You swept me cattle from the moorland
   
Loisg thu m' iodhlann choirce is eòrna You burned my stackyard of oats and barley
   
Mharbh thu mo thiùir bhràithrean òga You killed my three youthful brothers
   
Mharbh thu m' athair is m' fhear pòsta You killed my father and my husband
   
'S ged rinn thu siud 's ait leam beò thu Though you did that, I'm pleased you're living
