'S mi ag bràighe 'n alltain riabhaich,
Aig iaraidh gu beaUach na fèatha,
Far am bi Damh dearg na cròichde,
Mu fhèill-eain-roid dol san di\mhair,
'S mi 'g iaraidh gu Coire an easa,
Far a minig 'n sgapadh fùdor,
Far am biodh miol-choin ga 'n teirbeirt,
Cur mac na h-eilte da dhùbhlan.
Coire gun easbhuidh gun iomrall,
'S tric a bha Reabard ma d' chomraich,
Cha n'eil uair a ni mi t-iumradh,
Nach tuit mo chroidhe gu trom-chràdh.
'S è sin mise coire an easa,
Tha mi m sheasabh mar a b' àbhaist,
Ma thà thusa t-fhear ealain,
Cluinnemid annas do làimhe.
