Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
   
Fhuair mi nead na fhithich ann I found the raven's nest there
'S a-rithist nead na smeòraich And again that of the thrush
Fhuair mi nead na fhithich ann I found the raven's nest there
'S a-rithist nead na smeòraich And again that of the thrush
Fhuair mi nead na fhithich ann I found the raven's nest there
'S a-rithist nead na smeòraich And again that of the thrush
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
   
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
   
Fhuair mi nead na fhithich ann I found the raven's nest there
'S a-rithist nead na smeòraich And again that of the thrush
Fhuair mi nead na fhithich ann I found the raven's nest there
'S a-rithist nead na smeòraich And again that of the thrush
Fhuair mi nead na fhithich ann I found the raven's nest there
'S a-rithist nead na smeòraich And again that of the thrush
Fhuair mi nead na gurra-gùig I found the nest of the dove
Ann an cùl na mòine In the peat corner
