Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Thug mi'n oidhche raoir 's mi bruadar Last night I was dreaming
Mari nionagan na buaile Mary, the shieling lass
B'fhin-ealt uasal min na gruagaich She of the beautiful hair
Seinn nan duanag anns an air-idh Singing beautifully on the shieling
   
Thug mi'n oidhche raoir 'an airidh Last night on the shieling
Thug mi'n oidhche raoir 'an airidh Last night on the shieling
Chaith mi'n oidhche cridheil caoimhneil I had a joyful, loving time
Mari maighdeanan na hairidh Mary the shieling lass
