Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Haidh o haidh o ho |
Haidh o haidh o ho |
|
Haidh o a hee hu bho ho |
Haidh o a hee hu bho ho |
|
Haidh o haidh o ho |
Haidh o haidh o ho |

|
An cuala sibh mun mhaideann chčitich? |
Did you hear about the young maiden? |
| |
|
|
Air an tug Niall Ňg an' Čiginn |
She was taken by young Neil |
| |
|
|
Air taobh beinne ri latha grčineadh |
At the side of a hill on a sunny day |
| |
|
|
'S truagh a rěgh nach b'e mi fhčin i |
It's a pity it wasn't me |
| |
|
|
'S mi nach deanadh glaodh na čughach |
I wouldn't have screamed or shouted |
| |
|
|
Cha strachdainn brollach a lčineadh |
I wouldn't have torn his shirt |
| |
|
|
Na strachdadh gu fuaghlainn fhčin i |
If it tore I'd sew it myself |
| |
|
|
Le snŕthaid bhig 's le snŕth glč gheal |
With fine pure white thread |
| |
|
|
Nighinn ann a fuaran slčibh i |
And I'd wash it in the stream |
| |
|
|
Thiormaichinn air bhŕrr nan geug i |
And dry it on the bushes |
