Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Sèist 1: Chorus 1:
Bioranan 's clachan beaga Little sticks and little stones
A' gliogadaich 's a' clagarsaich Clinking and crashing
Bioranan 's clachan beaga Little sticks and little stones
Tàirneanaich nam chridhe Thunder in my heart
Bioranan 's clachan beaga Little sticks and little stones
A' gliogadaich 's a' clagarsaich Clinking and crashing
Bioranan 's clachan beaga Little sticks and little stones
Duine beag gun chlì Little man without respect
   
Chan fhaca esan ach baothalan bochd He saw only a poor simpleton
Shuidh mi gun chainnt is gun dòchas I sat without speech and without hope
   
(Sèist 1) (Chorus 1)
   
Chan fhaca ise ach duine le eachdraidh She saw only a man with a story
Sheas mi 's phòg mi a làmh I stood and I kissed her hand
   
(Sèist 1) (Chorus 1)
   
Sèist 2: Chorus 2 (after each verse):
Hu a he a, rinn i rathill Uig o Hu a he a, rinn i rathill Uig o
Hu a he a, rinn i rathill Uig o Hu a he a, rinn i rathill Uig o
Hu a he a, rinn i rathill Uig o Hu a he a, rinn i rathill Uig o
   
Glaiste nur n-aonar Locked in your loneliness
'S nur cadal tro na ràithean Alone and asleep through the seasons
A' feitheamh anns an dorchadas Waiting in the darkness
Linntean a' fàs ho làithean Centuries growing out of days
   
Eadar làn agus tràigh Between high and low tide
Rugadh caisteal anns a' ghainmhich A castle in the sand was born
Falaichte is fulangach Hidden and passive
Saor bho dhìon fàrdaich Free from your protective prison
   
Seall air a' Bhànrigh Look at the queen
Aodann oirr' fo iomagain Her face so worried
Dìoghaltas air fiamh an Rìgh Vengeance on the King's expression
Saighdearan cho eagalach And soldiers full of fear
   
'S dòch' gu bheil iad draoidheil Perhaps they are enchanted
Gheibh mi mach an fhìrinn I'll search for the truth
Ach feumaidh mi bhith gluasad But I will have to travel
Gu caisteal ann an Lunnainn To a castle in London
