Ref: 'S b' fheàrr gun robh mi 'r ais a rithis Coiseachd cas rùisgte air an tràigh Le mo dhà làimh 'na mo phòcaid 'S ri mo thaobh, Anna mo ghràidh
1. Bha sinn òg is bha sinn spòrsal Cluichd le sòlas is le gàir Air a' mhonadh 's air an locha 'S measg an arbhair às a' bhàthaich
2. 'S nuair a thig e gu am feasgair Ag iarraidh crodh shuas air a' bheinn 'S dhèanamh dheachaidh air ur socair Togail òrain 's togail rùin
3. Bhiodh sinn sgìth nuair nochdadh oidhche Ag òl bainne fuar taobh teine blàth 'S bhiodh sinn granail dol dhan leabaidh Ach am màireach ag èirigh tràth
Ref: I wish that I was back there again Walking barefoot on the strand My two hands in my pockets And you by my side, Anne my love
1. We were young and full of joy Playing with contentment and laughter On the moor, on the loch And amongst the corn in the barn
2. When it came to the late afternoon Bringing the cattle in from the hill Lingering on our way back home Singing songs
3. We were tired when night fell Drinking cold milk beside the warm fire With no desire for sleep And rising early the next morning.
