[Verse 1]
G C Am
Tha na duilleagan a' dannsa
C
Bho na craobhan anns a' ghaoith
G C Am
Foghar donn ar bliadhn' air tionndadh
C D G
Nis tha luchd an t-samhraidh ma sgaoil
[Verse 2]
G C Am
Sona dh'fh?g thu mi le m'eilean
C
'S leam na lochan is na b?igh
G C Am
Mo cridh' aig t?mh air beanntan geamhraidh

Nis tha luchd an t-samhraidh ma sgaoil
[Chorus]
Em Bm
Foghar nan eilean
Em Bm
Foghar mu thuath
Am C
Gheibh sinn beatha mar a chleachd sinn
Am C
Mas t?inig an t-sluagh
Em Bm
Bidh am fraoch air nam beanntan
Em Bm
'S a choille ruadh fon ghrian
Am C
'S iad a' sealltain dathan dhomsa
Am C D
Gus an till iad a rithe
[Verse 3]
G C Am
Tha an latha seachad, buintean d?inte
C
Gheibh an caisteal fois na h-oidhch'
G C Am
Gheibh an t-airgead cadal socair
C D G
Nis tha luchd an t-samhraidh ma sgaoil
[Verse 4]
G C Am
Mar a dh'atharraich iad ar be?shlaint

Mhill iad dualchas cainnt 's ru d?igh

Ach fhoghair, crathaidh mi do l?mh

Nis tha luchd an t-samhraidh ma sgaoil
[Chorus]

English Translation
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
