Translation into English

A hundred greetings from me
A hundred greetings from me
To the strath I know
And to the little slope
With pretty birches
Peas will grow three
Beans will grow also
Corn will grow there
Oats and barley
Sweet is the call of the cuckoo there
Sweet is the sound of the mavis
Sweet is the voice of the herdsman there
herding cattle
Sweet is the voice of the milkmaid
The young beasts with her
I can see the boast
Sailing swiftly
Going around
Rubh an Dnain
It is my sweetheart
who is steering her
