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.
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.
Chante-moi l’histoire d’une fille d’autrefois,
s’agirait-il de moi ?
L’âme légère, elle prit un jour la mer
Over the sea to Skye.
