Lyrics: English Translation:
   
'S gann nach gabhainn an t-eagal I hardly fear
Ro aon mhac breabadair beò One weaver's son
Mharbhainn feòil dhuit is sithion I would kill for meat and venison for you
Latha nach figheadh an clò On a day when the cloth would not be woven
   
Mharbhainn feòil dhuit is sithion I would kill for meat and venison for you
Latha nach figheadh an clò On a day when the cloth would not be woven
Bheirinn fèidh far a'mhonaidh I would bring deer from the moor
'S bheirinn bric as na lòin And trout from the lochs
   
Bheirinn fèidh far a'mhonaidh I would bring deer from the moor
'S bheirinn bric as na lòin And trout from the lochs
Leis an t-sneachd bhiodh air m'fheusaig With the snow which would be on my beard
'S gann gu lèir dhomh mo bhròg I can hardly see my shoe
   
Leis an t-sneachd bhiodh air m'fheusaig With the snow which would be on my beard
'S gann gu lèir dhomh mo bhròg I can hardly see my shoe
'S gann gu lèir dhomh nì 's fhaisg orm I can hardly see anything close to me
Na lorg a'bhat'tha nam dhòrn Nor find the walkingstick in my hand
   
'S gann gu lèir dhomh nì 's fhaisg orm I can hardly see anything close to me
Na lorg a'bhat'tha nam dhòrn Nor find the walkingstick in my hand
Tha sneachd air Druim Uachdair There is snow on Drumochter
Far 'n robh mi cuallach nam bò Where I herded cattle
   
Tha sneachd air Druim Uachdair There is snow on Drumochter
Far 'n robh mi cuallach nam bò Where I herded cattle
'S ann do nighean fear Donnchaidh I fell heavily in love
A thug mi'n tromaghaol 's mi òg With the daughter of Duncan in my youth
