[Chorus]
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach
Cha phos mi ach tu

[Verse 1]
Eyes so brightly beaming
Her look so frank and free
In waking and in dreaming
Is evermore with me

[Chorus]
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach
Cha phos mi ach tu

[Verse 2]
With thy fair face before me
How sweetly flew the hour
When all thy beauty o'er me
Came streaming in its power

[Chorus]
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach
Cha phos mi ach tu
[Post-Chorus]
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach

[Verse 3]
And when with blossoms laden
Summer comes again
I'll fetch my nut brown maiden
From the bonny glen

[Chorus]
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach
Cha phos mi ach tu
Ho ro, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Hi ri, mo nigh'n donn bhoidheach
Mo chaileag laghach, bhoidheach
Cha phos mi ach tu
