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
   
'S bochd nach robh mi leat a rithist It's bad that I'm not with you again
Sinn a bhitheadh ceòlmhór We would be great music
Rachainn leat gu cùl na cruinne I'd go with you to the other side of the world
Air bhàrr tuinne seòladh Sailing on top of the waves
   
Ciod am feum dhomh bhi ri tuireadh? Why must I be mourning?
Dé ni tuireadh dhomhsa? What will make a chant to me?
(3x) (3x)
