The third verse is one of the best known verses:

tomainknoll
bràightop
ònaralone

The first two lines are:

Cùl an tomain, bràigh an tomain,
Cùl an tomain bhòidheach,
Behind the knoll, the top of the knoll,
Behind the lovely knoll,

The verse concludes:

Cùl an tomain, bràigh an tomain, ,
H-uile là nam ònar.
Behind the knoll, the top of the knoll,
Every day, alone.

The whole verse together is:

Cùl an tomain, bràigh an tomain,
Cùl an tomain bhòidheach,
Cùl an tomain, bràigh an tomain,
H-uile là nam ònar.
Behind the knoll, the top of the knoll,
Behind the lovely knoll,
Behind the knoll, the top of the knoll,
Every day, alone.
