Beinn A' Cheathaich

1 Latha dhomh 's mi 'm Beinn a' Cheathaich
 
Séist Air fair al ill eó, ro bhi hó,
      Hoireann is ho, horo hi o a bhi,
      Ri horo a bha hó thug ò ro.
 
2 Ruagail 'nan caorach is 'gam faighinn
 
3 'S ann agam fhìn a bha an t-aighear
 
4 'Nuair chaidh bàta Clann Nill seachad
 
5 A' Bhiurlainn dubh 's i seòladh aighearach
 
6 Toirt a cinn o'n seana-chuain domhain
 
7 Mach a dùthaich Mhic 'Ill Eathain
 
8 Steach gu Ciosamul an aighear
 
9 Far am faighte cuirm 'ga gabhail
 
10 Fìon 'ga òl o oidhch' gu latha
 
11 Sioda fionn 'ga cuir air mnathan
 
12 'S pìobaireachd 'nam feadan laghach.
One day I was on the misty mountain
Rounding up the sheep
I was myself felt great joy
When the MacNeil boat went by
The black galley, sailing joyfully
Turning her bow from the deep old ocean
Away from the country of the MacLeans
Heading to Kismul's Castle, place of enjoyment
Where we would have feasting
With wine being drunk from night to day-break
White silk being worn by the women
And bagpipes with pleasant chanters being played.
