Seisd. — Hù o, tlia mi tinn,
Tlia mi caoidli mo leannain,
'S mor a tliug mi 'gliaol
Do 'n tè 's caoile maladli,
Hù o, tha mi tinn !
Tliar gach tè fo 'n ghrèin,
Thug mi .sijèis do m' chailia,
Nis' o 'n fhuair i bàs, —
'Chaoidh cha 'n fliàs mi fiiUain.
Hù (), tha nii tinn I
Bha tliu màkla, còir,
Suairceil, òrdail, banail ;
Nàdur fialaidh ciùin,
Oiteag chùbhraidh d'anail,
Hù o, tha mi tinn !
Ort-sa bha gach buaidh,
Bha thu uasal, dreachar;
B' àhiinn thigeadh ceùl
A' d' bheul bòidheach, meacliair.
Hù o, tha mi tinn !
Anns a' chòisir bhinn,
'Nàni 'bhi seinn nan luiinieag;
Thug tlni bàrr gn lèir,
Air na ceudaibh cruinneag.
Hù o, tha mi tinn !
