English Translation: |

|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach |
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary |
|
Leannan mo ghaoil mo chridhe 's mo ghaoil |
My dearest and fondest sweetheart |
|
Dh'fhalbh leis a'ghaoith 's a rinn seòladh |
Who sailed with the wind |
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach |
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary |
| |
|
|
Tha do ghruaidhean mar an caorann |
Your cheeks are like the rowan |
|
Mala chaol air aodann bòidheach |
Slender eyebrows on a beautiful face |
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach |
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary |
| |
|
|
Tha do shùil mar dhrùchd na maidne |
You eye is like the morning dew |
|
'S tha do chneas mar shneachd air mòintich |
And your skin as snow on a moor |
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach |
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary |
| |
|
|
Tha do phògan mar an siùcar |
Your kisses are like sugar |
|
Ged nach dùraig thu gin dhòmhsa |
Although you do not wish to give me any |
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach |
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary |
| |
|
|
Ach mur dèan thu mise phòsadh |
If you do not marry me |
|
'S ann fo'n fhòd bhios m'àite còmhnaidh |
Under the sod will be my resting place |
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach |
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary |
| |
|
|
Leannan mo ghaoil mo chridhe 's mo ghaoil |
My dearest and fondest sweetheart |
|
Dh'fhalbh leis a'ghaoith 's a rinn seòladh |
Who sailed with the wind |
|
Leannan mo ghaoil Màiri Bhòidheach |
My dearest sweetheart is beautiful Mary |
