Where'er ye bide in the world sae wide,
We wish ye a neuk on the sunny side,

In a wee bit housie wi' hearts content. - Translation
Â
Wherever you live in the world so wide,
We wish you a nook on the sunny side,
With much love and little care,
A little purse with money to spare,
Your own little hearth when day is spent,
In a little house with hearts content.
