Anna NicIain:

Cò leis an crodh druimfhionn ud thall
A' dìreadh ri uchdan nam beann
Cò leis an crodh druimfhionn ud thall
A' dìreadh ri uileann nam beann.

Leam fhìn a ghaoil, leat fhèin a ghràidh
Leam fhìn a ghaoil, leat fhèin a ghràidh
Leam fhìn a ghaoil, leat fhèin a ghràidh
Is leinn an crodh druimfhionn ud thall.

Cò leis an crodh druimfhionn ud thall
A' dìreadh ri uileann nam beann
Cò leis an crodh druimfhionn ud thall
A' dìreadh ri uileann nam beann.
