Fhuair mi mo leòr is mo dhà leòr,
Dhen t-saoghal seo
A chruth-atharrachadh le iteanan ‘s le gob
Nach toir sibh cead dhomh?
Sgéith am fitheach suas an sgòth
A’ beanail ris an iarmailt le sgiathan cho mór
Air rìgh-chathair le còinnich is ùir
A’ riaghladh gach nì bhon chaim nan sgùrr
Fhuair mi mo leòr is mo dhà leòr
Dhen àite seo gun seagh
Le iteanan is le clòimh
Théid mi dhan sgùrr
Sgéith am fitheach suas an Stòr
A’ beanail ris an iarmailt le sgiathan cho mór
Air rìgh-chathair le còinnich is ùir
A’ riaghladh gach nì bhon chaim nan sgùrr

Walk along
The old corpse road
A shroud of fog
A pall of deathly cold
Sleeping in the shadow of the ancient yew
The children of Gregor still lie
Rebels that remained of an outlawed name
Against the kings they chose to defy
Sleeping in the shadow of the ancient yew
The bones of the cailleach lie
Who traded her crown for the rags of a cowl
And for isolation on the isle

Where the litterfall changes to heather
The oak gives way to the pine
The path turns suddenly northward
And onwards and upwards we climb
Dìreadh Tom nan Nighean
Craobhan-giùthais mun cuairt oirnn
Dìreadh Tom nan Nighean
Cleas Suibhne, fiadhaich, às a rian
Dìreadh Tom nan Nighean
Saor on fhàth-fìth fìor gheal
Dìreadh Tom nan Nighean
Éirigh is falbhaidh mi a-null
At the summit we come to a clearing
And in ever direction I spy
Below, the bright blue of Loch Lomond
And above, the bright blue of the sky
Dìreadh Tom nan Nighean
Craobhan-giùthais mun cuairt oirnn
Dìreadh Tom nan Nighean
Cleas Suibhne, fiadhaich, às a rian
Dìreadh Tom nan Nighean
Saor on fhàth-fìth fìor gheal
Dìreadh Tom nan Nighean
Éirigh is falbhaidh mi a-null
I kindle the fear of the two fallow deer
That stand only paces away
Perhaps they remember the time of the Bruce
And the arrows they dodged in those days
Heather gives over to acorn
And to leaves that cover the ground
The oak and the thin trunk of hazel
And occasional ash tree surrounds
And as we come down to the shoreline
The alder now mingle among
We drag down our craft to the jetty
Set off and sail back home
