Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich, buain na rainich, Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich daonnan
'S tric a bha mi fhìn 's mo leannan, Anns a' ghleannan cheòthar, 'G èisteachd còisir bhinn an doire, Seinn sa choille dhòmhail
Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich, buain na rainich, Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich daonnan
O nam faicinn thu a' tighinn, Ruithinn dhol nad chòdhail, Ach mur tig thu 'n seo gam shireadh, Ciamar thilleas dòchas?
Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich, buain na rainich, Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich daonnan
Cùl an tomain, bràigh an tomain, Cùl an tomain bhòidheach, Cùl an tomain, bràigh an tomain, H-uile là nam ònar
Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich, buain na rainich, Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich daonnan
Anns an t-sìthean, o, gur sgìth mi, 'S tric mo chridhe ga leònadh, Nuair bhios càch a' seinn nan luinneag, Cha dèan mis' ach crònan
Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich, buain na rainich, Tha mi sgìth 's mi leam fhìn, Buain na rainich daonna
English translation thanks to the BBC: I am tired and I am alone, Cutting the bracken, cutting the bracken, I am tired and I am alone, Forever cutting the bracken
Often, my love and I, Were in the misty glens, Listening to the sweet choir of the grove, Singing in the corpulent forest
I am tired and I am alone, Cutting the bracken, cutting the bracken, I am tired and I am alone, Forever cutting the bracken
If I saw you coming, I would run to meet you, But if you don't come here to search for me, How can hope return?
I am tired and I am alone, Cutting the bracken, cutting the bracken, I am tired and I am alone, Forever cutting the bracken
Behind the knoll, the top of the knoll, Behind the lovely knoll, Behind the knoll, the top of the knoll, Every day, alone
I am tired and I am alone, Cutting the bracken, cutting the bracken, I am tired and I am alone, Forever cutting the bracken
In the fairy hill (or knoll, but I like fairy hill), oh I will be tired, And often my heart would be wounded, When others sing their songs , I will do nothing but drone
I am tired and I am alone, Cutting the bracken, cutting the bracken, I am tired and I am alone, Forever cutting the bracken
