Ach ma thi èig thu mi gu buileach,
Le bieug nan droch bhèistean siubhail,
Dh' fhàg sud mise deurach, dubhach,
'S ga d' chumha 's e is dùth dhomh 'n t-eug.
Cruinneag, etc.
'S ged nach innis mi do dhuin' e,
'S ann an I a tha I fuireach,
Ribhinn shìol)halt nan ceum lurach,
'S i mar uiseig air bhàrr gèig.
Cruinneag, etc.
Peucag shuairce 'chuach-fhuilt bhuidhe,
'Choisinn buaidh am measg nan cruinneag ;
Oigh na h-uaisle. luaidh gach duin' thu,
Suairce, furanach, neo bhreun !
Cruinneag, etc.
Tha do shlios mar fhaoileann tuinne,
Clochan corrach air uchd lurach,
Do mhac-samhuil ann an cumadh,
Cha 'n 'eil 's a' chruinne gu lèir.
Cruinneag, etc.
Tha do ghruaidh cho dearg 's na ròsan,
Muineal geal mu 'n iadh an t-òmbar,
'S tu mo h'Ii 'measg nan òighean —
Ann ad bhòichead cha 'n 'eil meang !
Cruinneag, etc.
Gur a lionmhor mais a' fàs ort^ —
Cha 'n aithne dhomh trian dhiubh àireamh.
Anns gach beus cha lèir dhomh d' fhàilinn —
'xhug thu bàrr air cach gu lèir !
Cruinneag, etc.
