A’ CHEARC AG IARRAIDH NID

Gog i, gog à, càite an dèan mi nead?
Ma nì mi anns a’ ghàrradh e,
Cha bhi fois no tàmh agam,
Gog i, gog à, càite an dèan mi nead?

Gog i, gog à, càite an dèan mi nead,
Ma nì mi anns a’ chraoibh e,
Luaisgear leis a’ ghaoith e,
Gog i, gog à, càite an dèan mi nead?

Gog i, gog à, càite an dèan mi nead,
Ma nì mi anns a’ bhàthaich e,
Seasaidh a’ bhó bhlàrach ann,
Gog i, gog à, càite an dèan mi nead?

Gog i, gog à, càite an dèan mi nead,
Ma nì mi an tom ràinich e,
Thig an fheannag ghreannach air,
Gog i, gog à, càite an dèan mi nead?

Gog i, gog à, càite an dèan mi nead,
Nì mi sa chruaich-fheòir e,
Is bheir mi a-mach na h-eóin ann,
Gog i, gog à, sin far an dèan mi nead!

THE CHICKEN IN SEARCH OF A NEST

Cluck, cluck, where will I build a nest?
If I make it in the garden,
I will have neither rest nor respite,
Cluck, cluck, where will I build a nest?

Cluck, cluck, where will I build a nest?
If I make it in the tree,
It will shake in the wind,
Cluck, cluck, where will I build a nest?

Cluck, cluck, where will I build a nest?
If I make it in the stable,
The cow with the white spot will stand on it,
Cluck, cluck, where will I build a nest?

Cluck, cluck, where will I build a nest?
If I make it in a clump of bracken,
The ugly crow will get it,
Cluck, cluck, where will I build a nest?

Cluck, cluck, where will I build a nest?
I shall make it in the haystack,
And I will hatch my chicks there,
Cluck, cluck, that is where I shall build a nest!
