Tha mulad, tha fadachd, tha cnàmh orm |
I'm sad and worn, full of longing |
|
Cha mhire tha 'n drasd air m'aire |
No fun on my mind now |

In the milking byre |

Le òigear nam mìogshul meallach |
Young man of the laughing eyes |

Ciamar a nì mi dhuit an t-òran |
How can I write a song for you, when |

'S gun mi eòlach mu d'dhà sheanar? |
I didn't know your two grandfathers? |

'S gun do chaoraich air na beannan? |
When your sheep are not in the hills? |
