Sing me a song of a lad that is gone
Say could that lad be I?
Merry of soul, he sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
Billow and breeze, islands and seas
Mountains of rain and sun
All that was good, all that was fair
All that was me is gone
Sing me a song of a lass that is gone
Say could that lass be I?
Merry of soul, she sailed on a day
Over the sea to Skye
Seinnibh leam dän
Gu nighneag mo chridh
Nighneag mo rún 's mo ghräidh
