Uird ri dairirich deanamh thargaid’
Nan dual ball-chruinn boidheacli;
Chaidh ar seargadh le cam earragbloir,
Sluaigb fior chealgach Sedrais,
O’s sgeul dearbha thig thar fairge,
Neart ro gharbk d’ar foirinn.
Thig thar lear le gaoith a near oirn’,
Toradh deal ar dochuis,
Le mhilte fear, ’s le armabh geal,
Prionnsa ullamh, meat, ’s e do-c haisgt’
Mac High Seumas, Tearlach Stiubhard,
Oighre chruin tb’air fogar,
Gu’n dean gach Breatuinneach lan umhlachd.
Air an glun’ d’a mhorachd.
Ni na Gaeil bheodha, ghasda,
Eiridh bhr&s le srolabh;
lad ’nan ciadan uim’ ag iathadh,
’S coltas dian* chuir gleois orr’:
Gun fhiamh’s lad fiata, claidheach, sgiathach,
Gunnach, riaslach, stroicheach,
Mar chonafadh leoghanaibh fiadbaich,
’S acras dian gu fedil oft’.
Deanamh ullamh chum ar turais,
’S bithibh guineach, deonach;
So an cumasg’m bi na builean,
An deantar fuil a dhdrtadh ;
Och a dhuine is lionmhor cuiridh
Is fior sturail comh-strigh,
A leigir far eile mar chuilean,
Dh’ fhaotainn fuil air Sedras !
