Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Tha mo shealgair na shineadh My hunter lies stretched
Na shineadh, na shineadh Stretched, stretched
Tha mo shealgair na shineadh My hunter lies stretched
Anns an fhrith gun tigh'nn dhachaidh On the moorland without coming home
   
Tha mo shealgair gun eirigh My hunter lies without rising
Gun eirigh, gun eirigh Without rising, without rising
Tha mo shealgair gun eirigh My hunter lies without rising
'S tha na feidh air an leacainn And the deer are on the slopes
   
Tha na feidh am Braigh Uige The deer are on Uig Brae
'M Braigh Uige, 'm Braigh Uige On Uig Brae, on Uig Brae
Tha na feidh am Braigh Uige The deer are on Uig Brae
'S e mo dhiubhail mar thachair What happened is my ruin
   
Tha mo crodh air na lointean My cattle are on the meadow
Na lointean, na lointean On the meadow, on the meadow
Tha mo crodh air na lointean My cattle are on the meadow
'S na laoigh oga mu'n casan And their young calves at their feet
   
Iad gun togail ri aonaich Without being herded to the hill
Ri aonaich, ri aonaich To the hill, to the hill
Iad gun togail ri aonaich Without being herded to the hill
Fireach fraoich agus glacaibh Heathery moor and hollow
   
Gur fuar Lag na h-airidh Cold is the Hollow of the Sheiling
Na h-airidh, na h-airidh The Sheiling, the Sheiling
Gur fuar Lag na h-airidh Cold is the Hollow of the Sheiling
'S tha mo ghradh fo na leacaibh And my love lies beneath the slabs
   
Hill an o 's na hi ill u o... Hill an o 's na hi ill u o...
