Bráigh Uige

Tha mo shealgair na shineadh
Na shineadh,na shineadh
Tha mo shealgair na shineadh
Anns an fhrith gun tigh'nn dhachaidh

Tha mo shealgair gun eirigh
Gun eirigh, gun eirigh
Tha mo shealgair gun eirigh
'S tha na feidh air an leacainn

Tha na feidh am Braigh Uige
'M Braigh Uige, 'm Braigh Uige
Tha na feidh am Braigh Uige
'S e mo dhiubhal mar thachair

Tha mo chrodh air na lointean
Na lointean, na lointean
Tha mo chrodh air na lointean
'S na laoigh oga mu'n casan

Iad gun togail ri aonaich
Ri aonaich, ri aonaich
Iad gun togail ri aonaich
Fireach fraoich agus glacaibh

Gur fuar Lag na h-airidh
Na h-airidh, na h-airidh
Gur fuar Lag na h-airidh
'S tha mo ghradh fo na leacaibh

Hill an o's na hi ill u o
Hill an o's na hi ill u o
Hill an o's na hi ill u o
Hill an o's na hi ill u o

My hunter lies stretched
On the moorland without coming home
 
 

My hunter lies without rising
And the deer are on the slopes
 
 

The deer are on Uig Brae
What happened is my ruin
 
 

My cattle are on the meadow
And their young calves at their feet
 
 

Without being herded to the hill
Heathery moor and hollow
 
 

Cold is the Hollow of the Sheiling
And my love lies beneath the slabs
