Tha mi sgith

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
   
'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
