Feasgar ciùin an tùs a' Chèitein         On a quiet may evening,
F                       G
Nuair bha 'n ialtag anns na speuran      When the bat was in the skies
C                ( G )       Em         
Chualaim rìbhinn òg 's i deurach         I heard a tearful young maiden
F           Em       G7    C
'Seinn Fo sgàil nan geugan uain'          Singing beneath open skies
F                 Em
Bha a' ghrian 'sa chuan gu sìoladh        No stars yet graced the sky
Am                             G
'S reult cha d' èirich anns an iarmailt   And sun was setting on the seas, 
C                 Em
Nuair a sheinn an òigh gu cianail       When the young girl sang sorrowfully
F           Em       G7     C
"Tha mo ghaol air àird a' chuain"       "My love is on the seas"
         
C                           Em 
Thòisich dealt na h-oidhch' ri tùirling       The night's dew began to fall
F                             G
'S lùb Am braon gu caoin na flùrain           Each bloom did softly yield
C                    Em 
Shèid a' ghaoth 'na h-oiteig chùbhraidh       The wind blew in fragrant breeze
F         Em       G7      C
Beatha 's ùrachd Do gach cluan                Bringing life to every field
F                        Em  
Ghleus an nighneag fonn a h-òrain             The girl softly sang her tune,
Am                          G
Sèimh is ciùin mar dhriùchd an Òg-mhìos       Notes drifting on the breeze
C                               Em
'S bha an t-sèisd seo 'g èirigh 'n còmhnaidh    And this chorus always mourning 
F           Em    G7       C
"Tha mo ghaol air àird a' chuain"             "My love is on the seas"
         
C                       Em
Chiar an latha is dheàrrs' na reultan    Day darkened, stars shone
F                       G
Sheòl an rè measg neul nan speuran       Setting course amongst the clouds
C                              Em
Shuidh an òigh, bha 'bròn 'ga lèireadh   The maiden sat, quiet and brooding
F            Em           G7  C
'S cha robh dèigh air tàmh no suain      Singing sadly but so proud
F                           Em
Theann mi faisg air reult nan òg-bhean   I moved closer to the sound
Am                             G
Sheinn mu 'gaol air chuan 'bha seòladh   Pining her love on the sea
C                        Em
O bu bhinn a caoidhrean brònach          How sweet, her sad lament,
F         Em        G7     C
"Tha mo ghaol air àird a' chuain"        "My love is on the seas"
  
C                     Em         
Rinn an ceòl le deòin mo thàladh          The music called to me
F                           G
Dlùth Do rìbinn donn nam blàth-shul       Bringing me to her side
C                      Em
'S i ag ùrnaigh ris an Àrd-Rìgh           And she prayed to our lord
F         Em          G7            C
"Dìon mo ghràdh 'th' air àird a' chuain" "Bring him back with the tide"
F                       Em
Bha a cridh' le gaol gu sgàineadh         Tears fell unbidden, freely
Am                        G
Nuair a ghlac mi fhèin air làimh i       When I took her by the hand
C                              Em
"Siab Do dheòir, Do ghaol tha sàbhailt   "Wipe your eyes, your love is safe
F          Em        G7       C
Thill mi slàn bhàrr àird a' chuain"       "I Am safetly back on land"
