Tha na duilleagan a' dannsa
Bho na craobhan anns a' ghaoith
Foghar donn ar bliadhn' air tionndadh
Nis tha luchd an t-samhraidh ma sgaoil

Sona dh'fhag thu mi le m'eilean
'S leam na lochan is na baigh
Mo cridh' aig tamh air beanntab geamhraidh
Nis tha luchd an t-samhraidh ma sgaoil

Foghar nan eilean
Foghar mu thuath
Gheibh sinn beatha mar a chleachd sinn
Mas tainig an t-sluagh
Bidh am fraoch air nam beanntan
'S a choille ruadh fon ghrian
'S iad a sealltain dathan dhomsa
Gus an till iad a rithis

Tha an latha seachad buintean duinnte
Gheibh an caisteal fois na h-oidhch'
Gheibh an t-airgead cadal socair
Nis tha luchd an t-samhraidh ma sgaoil

Mar a dh'atharraich iad ar beoshlaint
Mhill iad dualchas cainnt 's ru doigh
Ach fhoghair, crathaidh mi do lamh
Nis tha luchd an t-samhraidh ma sgaoil

Foghar nan eilean
Foghar mu thuath
Gheibh sinn beatha mar a chleachd sinn
Mas tainig an t-sluagh
Bidh am fraoch air nam beanntan
'S a choille ruadh fon ghrian
'S iad a sealltain dathan dhomsa
Gus an till iad a rithis

The leaves are dancing
From the trees in the wind
The browns of autumn are turning our year around
Now that the summer visitors have gone

Content is the way you left me to my island
The lochs and the bays are all mine
My heart rests easy on the winter hills
Now that the summer visitors have gone

Island autumn
Northern autumn
We can live a little like we used to
Before the crowds came
The heather on the hills
And the sunlit forests
Will reveal their colors for us
Until they return again

The day is over, the shops have closed
The castle will get a night's peace
Money will get some respite
Now that the summer visitors have gone

They changed our means of livelihood
They altered our language and way of life
But autumn, I can only welcome you
Now that the summer visitors are gone

Island autumn
Northern autumn
We can live a little like we used to
Before the crowds came
The heather on the hills
And the sunlit forests
Will reveal their colors for us
Until they return again
