Gur binn guth eoin 'san deagh-mhadainn Sweet is the voice of a bird on a fine morning
Gur binn guth eoin 'san deagh-mhadainn Sweet is the voice of a bird on a fine morning
Gur binn guth eoin 'san deagh-mhadainn Sweet is the voice of a bird on a fine morning

Tog dhion do lamh, tha i fuar liom Lift your hand from me, it is cold to me
Tog dhion do lamh, tha i fuar liom Lift your hand from me, it is cold to me
Righ, gur beag orm fear fuadain Oh King, little I care for a stranger
