Ach nius cruaidh leat sgal a chuilein,
Ka bi caoidh cloinne do mhathar.
Air ghradh t'elnich na ceil orm,
Co thu fein, na co e t'athair.
Inghean oighre Bhailacliavh,
Cha cheilinn a thriath nan lann,
'S do ghruagach Eilein nan eun,
'3 ann a rug mi fein mo chiann.
Mis' a*s gruagach a chuirn Cheusda,
An triuir niacan, a's an cu,
An t-seisear a b'ailii fudh 'n ghiein,
Gus n' do mhill s:nn fein ar cliu.
A mhacain sin a ghearr na spaoidhj
O'n a thog thu do shleagh ri sion,
A nis o thainig mi do d' fiiios,
Innis a ris co thu fein.
Mise Murcha sin mac Bri.m,
'S ioma sciath a sgoilt mi'n cath,
Gus an diun;h cru'n dion2:ain ceud,
Le nV chioidheamh geur, a's le m' ghath.
