== Lyrics ==
These are the lyrics of one version from 1647:
Cholle mo runn tionndaigh am bat,
na'm Fhios dhut mar tha chad thigeadh du'm choir;
Cholle mo runn seachainn an dun,
tha mise'n laimh, tha mise'n laimh.
Cholle mo runn tionndaidh a'm bat,
n'am Fhios dhut mar tha chad thigeadh du'm choir;
Cholle mo runn seachainn an dun
tha mis'en laimh, tha mise'n laimh
Cholle mo ghaoil seachainn a'n caol
s'na creaganan caol, 'thoir orst a mhaol,
tha mise'n laimh, tha mise'n laimh.
In English:
Coll, my dear, turn the boat,
There is nothing you can do to help me;
Coll, my dear, avoid the fort,
I'm prisoner here, I'm prisoner here
Coll, my dear, turn the boat,
There is nothing you can do to help me;
Coll, my dear, avoid the fort,
I'm prisoner here, I'm prisoner here.
Coll, my love, avoid the strait,
And the narrow rocks, beware the bald one,
I'm prisoner here, I'm prisoner here.
