De shliochd Shimain an Eirinn,
Bho Ghaidheal Glas gleusta
'Choisinn cliu aim an Eiphait an oir.
B' fhada cuimhn' air bhur seanacha.s,
'Shliochd nan curidhnean c dnia,
Ge I a rinneadh le ainneart bhur leoii.
A Shir Iain, mo thruaighe,
'S tu tha ormsa mar chruaidh chas;
S goirt a bhuille so 'fhuair thu gu h-og.
Chaill thu seilbh air do dhuthich,
'Chionn bhi seasamh le durachd;
'S be bhi rioghail a chiurr thu gu borb.
Is beag solais do chairdibh
Ge b' e rioghachd 'san tamh thu,
Ann san Fhraing no 'san Spainn no 'n tir
Phoil.
'S mairg a chailleadh a dhaoine
Le a righ no na aobhar
Is gun fhios gu de 'n taobh thig an
stoirm^
Cha b' e spionnadh na pairtidh,
Cha b'e'n lann no lamh laidir
Thug am ball dhaibh fo shailibh am brog.
Gur h-e 'n Righ 'tha 's na neabhan
A ni iseal no ard neach,
'Thug a chuibhle so 'n drast mu 'n cuairt
'N uair a bha i a tionndadh,
'S i 'cur char gu ro-iomluath,
Thilg i sinne fo 'h-iomlibh san Ion.
