Translated Lyrics:
Love of my heart, fair-haired Mary,
Pretty Mary, theme of my song:
She's my darling, fair-haired Mary
And oh! I'm going to marry her. Last night I fell in love
And now my heart is soaring high;
Fair-haired Mary singing by my side
And oh! I'm going to marry her!
Golden hair and kindly eyes,

Shapely brow and smiling cheeks, Sweetest voice that ever sang
And oh! I'm going to marry her.
It was at a cèilidh at the Mòd
That I got to know the girl:
She was the winner of the gold medal
And oh! I'm going to marry her.

My love for Fair-haired Mary will be
Eternally faithful and heartfelt;
We'll sing together of our love
And oh! I'm going to marry her.
