Tha mi sgith 's mi leam fhin I am tired and I am alone
Buain a rainich, buain a rainich Cutting the bracken, cutting the bracken
Tha mi sgith 's mi leam fhin I am tired and I am alone
Buain a rainich daonnan Cutting the bracken forever
Tha mi sgith 's mi leam fhin I am tired and I am alone
Buain a rainich, buain a rainich Cutting the bracken, cutting the bracken
Tha mi sgith 's mi leam fhin I am tired and I am alone
Buain a rainich daonnan Cutting the bracken forever
   
Cùl an tomain, braigh an tomain Behind the knoll, up on the knoll
Cùl an tomain bhòidhich Behind the pretty knoll
Cùl an tomain, braigh an tomain Behind the knoll, up on the knoll
Cùl an tomain bhòidhich Behind the pretty knoll
Cùl an tomain, braigh an tomain Behind the knoll, up on the knoll
Cùl an tomain bhòidhich Behind the pretty knoll
Cùl an tomain, braigh an tomain Behind the knoll, up on the knoll
Cùl an tomain bhòidhich Behind the pretty knoll
