Dh’èirich mi gu moch Diluain
e ho hi a hu u leo

Dhìrich mi’n tullaich ud shuas
e ho hi ri lui
hao a ri hillinn o ho ro o ho
e ho hi a hu u leo
(N.B. Second line repeated to start next verse)

S’fhada sealladh chì mi ‘uam

Chì mi taobh deas san tao’ tuath

Chì mi Muile nam beann fuar

Eala bhàn a’ snàmh ri bruaich

Coilleach dubh air bhàrr gach sguab

Sòbhraichean air bhàrr nam bruach

Smeòrach ri seinn air là fuar

On Monday I arose early
e ho hi a hu u leo

I climbed up yon hill above
e ho hi ri lui
hao a ri hillinn o ho ro o ho
e ho hi a hu u leo
(N.B. Second line repeated to start next verse)

Distant the view that I can see

I see the north side and the south

I see Mull of the cold mountains

A white swan swimming by the riverbank

A blackcock on top of every sheaf

Primroses on top of all the braes

A thrush singing on a cold day
