O ba ba mo leanabh
(Oh hush-a-bye, my little baby)
Ba mo leanabh, ba
(Hush, my little baby, hush)
O ba ba mo leanabh
(Oh hush-a-bye, my little baby)
Nì mo leanabhs' an ba ba
(My own little baby will go to sleep)
Ged tha mi gun chaoraich agam
(Though I am without a flock of sheep)
'S caoraich uil' aig càch
(And the others all have sheep)
Ged tha mi gun chaoraich agam
(Though I am without a flock of sheep)
Dèan a leanabh an ba ba
(You, little baby, can go to sleep)
Eudail mhòir a shluaigh an dòmhain
(Darling, of the people of the great world)
Dhòirt iad d'fhuil an dé
(They spilt your blood yesterday)
'S chuir iad do cheann air stob daraich
(They put your head on an oaken post)
Tacan beag bho do chré
(A little way from your corpse)
Dhìrich mi bheinn mhòr gun anal
(I breathlessly climbed the great mountain)
Dhìrich agus thearn
(I climbed and I descended)
Chuirinn falt mo chinn fo d' chasan
(I would put the hair of my head under your feet)
Agus craicionn mo dhà làimh
(And the skin of my two hands)
