Mo charaid My friend

 

Tha thu beag,
tha thu seòlta,
tha thu fuireach
sa bhàthaich.

 

Bidh daoine smaointinn
gur e peasan a th' annad,
ach tha mise smaointinn
gur e caraid a th' annad.

 

'S e beatha chunnartach a th' agad -
an tuathanach le ribe 's cait,
ach tha fhios agamsa gum bi thu sàbhailte,
oir 's e luchag ghlic a th' annad.

 

You are wee,
you are cunning,
you live
in the barn.

 

People think
of you as a pest,
but I think
of you as a friend.

 

Yours is a dangerous life -
the farmer with his traps and cats
but I know you'll stay safe,
for you are a wise wee mouse.
