It's in Scottish Gaelic. I suspect the problems you are having are due to pronunciation. The sounds of Gaelic letters is DIFFERENT than English or most European languages. No matter whether the Gaelic is Irish, Scottish or Manx, or even other Celtic languages such as Cornish, Breton or Welsh.

The other European languages are all based on the same sounds. Gaelic is different.

there are many versions of the song, so you may need to specify which one you have heard
anyway, the previous thread referred to above should be of assistance
