Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi
Tha m'inntinn truagh 's cha bhuannaich mi My thoughts are heavy and I shall not win
Ged dh'innsinn duit do luach 'nam chridh' Though I should tell you your worth in my heart
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi
   
O's truagh nach robh sinn og le cheil Pity that we were not young together
'S an eilean cheothach ghleannanach In the misty island of the glens
A' lennanachd mar eoin nan geug Courting like the birds of the branches
Sinn solasach le beannachdan Happy with blessings
   
'S ged tha Loch Laomain lainnireach And though Loch Lomond is glittering
Le grian a' soillseadh thairis air With the sun shining across it
Thoir dhomhs' a bheinn taobh thall de'n chaol Give me the mountain on the other side of the straight
'S mi ann le m' ghaol na fhaileas dhomh There with my love as a shadow
   
O 's truagh tha mi nach d'fhag mi'n saoghal Oh pity that I did not leave the world
Mun tug mi 'n gradh nach fhaodar leam Before I gave the love that is forbidden
Chan fhaigh mi tamh, 's chan fhaigh mi sith I will get no rest, I will get no peace
Ho ro u o hi gun chaochail mi Ho ru u o hi, that I might die
   
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi
Tha m'inntinn truagh 's cha bhuannaich mi My thoughts are heavy and I shall not win
Ged dh'innsinn duit do luach 'nam chridh' Though I should tell you your worth in my heart
Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi Ochoin hi ri, ho ri u o hi
