|
Mo bhò dhubh mhòr a' siubhal bheann
|
My big black cow wandering the bens
|
|
Mo bhò dhubh mhòr a' teàrnadh ghleann
|
My big black cow descending the glens
|
|
Mo bhò dhubh mhòr a' siubhal bheann
|
My big black cow wandering the bens
|
|
'S ann tha i sgìth 's a laogh air chall
|
She is tired and her calf is lost
|
|
|
|
|
Tha i sgìth 's a laogh air chall
|
She is tired and her calf is lost
|
|
'S ann tha i sgìth 's a laogh air chall
|
She is tired and her calf is lost
|
|
'S ann tha i sgìth 's a laogh air chall
|
She is tired and her calf is lost
|
|
Bho ghual' a' ghlinn gu bruach nan allt
|
From the shoulder of the glen to the bank of the burns
|
|
|
|
|
Ruidhleadh Gogan a'chinn mhòir
|
Gogan of the big head would reel
|
|
Buaichaille nan gamhna
|
Herd of the stirks

'S ann ort fhèin a tha na casan
|
It is you that has the fine legs
|
|
'S chan e casan gallda
|
And not lowland legs
|
|
Cinn cho gairbhe ris a'chalpa
|
Feet as brawny as the calves
|
|
'S ainmeil air an danns' thu
|
And famous at dancing you are
|
|

Nighean na cailliche crotaiche crùbaich

Thionndadh i cùlaibh 's throideadh i rium
