Lyrics: English Translation:
   
O fàilt' air Rudha Bhatairnis Oh welcome to Vaternish Point
Gur maiseach leam do chluaintean Your plains are beautiful
Thoir soraidh slàn gu Hàllain Bear sincere greetings to Hallain
'S nach fhaod mi thràigh a bhualadh As I cannot get to its shore
   
'S i Ghearmailt le cuid ìnnleachdan It was Germany with its plans
A chur mi fhìn gu cuantan That forced me to go to sea
'S nam faighinn dhachaidh sàbhailte And if I got home safely
'S i Màiri nach biodh gruamach Mairi would not be downcast
   
'S gun aithnichinn fhìn do bheanntanan I'd recognize your mountains
'S gach gleann a tha mun cuairt dhut And every glen which surrounds you
'S gur ann aig Lag an t-Sìthein And it is at Fairy Hollow
Tha'n rìbhinn rinn mo bhuaireadh That the maiden who troubles me lives
   
O fàilt' air Rudha Bhatairnis Oh welcome to Vaternish Point
Gur maiseach leam do chluaintean Your plains are beautiful
Thoir soraidh slàn gu Hàllain Bear sincere greetings to Hallain
'S nach fhaod mi thràigh a bhualadh As I cannot get to its shore
