Ailein Duinn

How sorrowful I am

When I rise early in the morning

Ò hì, I would go with you

Hì ri bhò hò ru bhì

Hì ri bhò hò rinn o ho

Brown-haired Alan, ò hì, I would go with you

If the sand be your pillow

If the seaweed be your bed

If the fish are your candles bright

If the seals are your watchmen

I would drink, though all would abhor

Of your heart's blood after you were drowned.
