Bha dà phiuthar ann 's lad a' coiseachd sios an t-sràid
O an t-uisge is a' ghaoth
Phut an tè bu shine an tè eile dhan an t-sruth
Sior chaoineadh, an t-uisge is gaoir na ghaoithe
There were two sisters came walking down the street
Oh the wind and rain
Older one pushed the younger one in
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
Oir thug Seonaidh dhan tè b' òige fàinne àlainn òir
O an t-uisge is a' ghaoth
Cha d' fhuair an tè eile aon sian dhe chuid
Sior chaoineadh, an t-uisge is gaoir na ghaoithe
So she pushed her into the river to drown
Oh the wind and rain
Watched her as she floated down
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
Flodradh gus an d' rànaig i linne mhòr a' chasg
O an t-uisge is a' ghaoth
Athair, o ahtair, seall an eala air an t-snàmh
Sior chaoineadh, an t-uisge is gaoir na ghaoithe
Then out of the woods came a fiddler fair
Oh the wind and rain
He plucked thirty strands of her long yellow hair
Crying oh the dreadful wind and rain
Is rinn e bogha grinn dhen gaoisnean bàn
Oh the wind and rain
Then he made a fiddle bow of her long yellow hair
Sior chaoineadh, an t-uisge is gaoir na ghaoithe
Agus rinn e cnagan-fidhle dhe a corragan caola
Oh the wind and rain
And he made fiddle pegs of her long finger bones
Sior chaoineadh, an t-uisge is gaoir na ghaoithe
And he made a little fiddle of her own breast bone
O an t-uisge is a' ghaoth
Which sound would melt a heart of stone
Sior chaoineadh, an t-uisge is gaoir na ghaoithe
Is an aona phort a thigeadh a-mach às an fhidheall
O an t-uisge is a' ghaoth
Only tune that the fiddle would play
Was oh the dreadful wind and rain
Sior chaoineadh, an t-uisge is gaoir na ghaoithe
