Lyrics : English Translation :
Mo bhò dhubh mhòr a' siubhal bheann My big black cow roaming the hills

'Chaora ruadh a bh'air a' leacain The russet sheep that was on the hillside
Cha do dh'fhuiling i riamh duin' fhaicinn She never let anyone see her

Madadh ròmach air a dhruim With a whistle from her nose
