| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn | I am weary all alone |
| Buain na rainich, buain na rainich | Cutting the bracken, cutting the bracken |
| Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn | I am weary all alone |
| Buain na rainich daonnan | Cutting bracken the whole day |
| 'Stric a bha mi fhìn 's mo leannan | Often was I with my sweetheart |
| Anns a ghleannan cheòthar | In the misty glens |
| 'G èisteachd còisir bhinn an doire | Listening to the sweet choir of the grove |
| Seinn sa' choille dhòmhail | Singing in the dense woods |
| 'S bochd nach robh mi leat a rithist | It's a pity that I am not with you again |
| Sinn a bhitheadh ceòlmhor | We would be tuneful |
| Rachainn leat gu cùl na cruinne | I would go with you to the ends of the earth |
| Air bhàrr tuinne a'seòladh | Sailing on the crest of the waves |
| Ciod am feum dhomh a bhith tuireadh | What is the point of me being mournful? |
| Dè ni tuireadh dhòmhsa | What will a lament do for me? |
| 'S mi cho fada o gach duine | And I am so far from any man |
| B'urrainn tighinn gam chòmhnadh | Who could come to my aid |
