Bho Africa nam fuaran
'Bheir uath' a' gbainneamh òir;
Bho iomadli amhainn aosmhor,
'S bho iomadh rèidhlein uain',
Tha ruinne, air son saorsa,
An glacdli tighin thar a' chuain.
Air Ceylon ged a slièideas
A' ghaotli gu ciibhraidh, tlàtb ;
Ged tha gach sealladh ceutach,
'Us duine 'mhàin 'n a ghràin ;
Mòr mbaitbeas Dbè tba 'n diombain
Air iocadb air gacb taobb ;
Tba truagbain dball na tir' sin
A' striocbd' do db' iodbail fbaoin.
'JM dean sinne, 'tb'air ar stiiiradb
Le gliocas iiiil o'n àird,
An lòcbran nèamhaidb 'dbiùltadb
Do'n dream 'tba'n duibbr' an sàs?
Dean slain t' do pbeacaicb èigbeacb —
Dean sgeul nam buadb a sbeirm,
Gus am bi gacb creutair
Air gèill a tbcirt do'n gbairm.
Dean ruitb, a Sgèil na Saorsa,
Air carbad gaoitbe 's cuain,
Gus, anns gacb cearn de'n t-saogbal,
An cluinn gacb aon an fbuaim !
'Us duine air a sbaoradb,
Le iobairt gbaoil an Uain,
Ag èigbeacb o gacb taobb ris,
E 'tbeacbd g' A riogbacbd gu luatb.
