| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Uiseag bheag dhearg na monadh duibh | Red thrush from the black moor |
| Na monadh duibh na monadh duibh | The black moor, the black moor |
| Uiseag bheag dhearg na monadh duibh | Red thrush from the black moor |
| Cait do chaidil thu'n raoir 's an i | Where did you nest last night? |
| Chaidil mi'n raoir air bharr an dris | I slept last night on the bramble bush |
| Air bharr an dris, air bharr an dris | On the bramble bush, on the bramble bush |
| Chaidil mi'n raoir air bharr an dris | I slept last night on the bramble bush |
| Ach o bha mo chadal cho sgith | Oh my sleep was restless |
| Chaidil mi'n raoir air bharr nan tonn | I slept last night on the ocean waves |
| Air bharr nan tonn, air bharr nan tonn | On the ocean waves, on the ocean waves |
| Chaidil mi'n raoir air bharr nan tonn | I slept last night on the ocean waves |
| Ach o bha mo chadal cho sgith | Oh my sleep was restless |
| Uiseag bheag dhearg nan sgiathan oir | Red thrush with the golden wings |
| Nan sgiathan oir, nan sgiathan oir | With the golden wings, with the golden wings |
| Uiseag bheag dhearg nan sgiathan oir | Red thrush with the golden wings |
| Cait an do chaidil thu'n raoir 's an i | Where did you sleep last night? |
| Chaidil mi'n raoir eadar da dhuilleig | I slept last night between two leaves |
| Eadar da dhuilleig, eadar da dhuilleag | Between two leaves, between two leaves |
| Chaidil mi'n raoir eadar da dhuilleig | I slept last night between two leaves |
| Is o bha mo chadal cho seimh | And oh my sleep was peaceful |
| Is o bha mo chadal cho seimh | And oh my sleep was peaceful |
