Òganaich Uir A Rinn M' Fhàgail [English translation]

Oh young man who has left me

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho

You kept me behind all others

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho

Without the knowledge of my father or my mother

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho

Without the knowledge of my sister or my brother

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho

Oh woman over there at the spinning wheel

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho

You yourself know how my heart is

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho

The young Campbell in its inside

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho

And I will not get baptized in Uist

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho

Until I reach the man with the blond tresses

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho

You kept me behind all others

Hi ri-abh o hiùraibh o ho

Hi ri-abh o ro hùbhag

Hi ri-abh a hiùraibh o ho
