Lyrics
Hò i hò i hì o hò i Hò i hò i hì o hì Hò i hò i hì o hò i, I was not alone. Pity to be in this place, Where people are eaten as food. See the chief of the people, Boiling hard on a fire. Hò i hò i hì o hò i Hò i hò i hì o hì Hò i hò i hì o hò i, I was not alone I am the daughter of Aoidh son of Eòghainn, I knew of the reefs. Pity the person who would hit me, I come from other lands Hò i hò i hì o hò i Hò i hò i hì o hì Hò i hò i hì o hò i, I was not alone The thrush comes, the starling comes, birds return to nests salmon comes from the sea, until then I will not move Hò i hò i hì o hò i Hò i hò i hì o hì Hò i hò i hì o hò i, I was not alone Hò i hò i hì o hò i Hò i hò i hì o hì Hò i hò i hì o hò i, I am not alone
