Ag eifteachd re briathraibh an Righ
Bu dubhach bha na fuinn mu'n cuairt
Ag amharc cloidheamh, fgiath is fle?gh,
'S le focail gun bhrigh ann a chluais.
Sheafamh Morchean, Triath Alt-duibh,
Tri uairin chrath e chiabh,
Tri uairin bhuail e 'n darach j
Ainmic bha mo bhuillin fann,
Ainmic fhuair mo naimhdin buaidb,
Ge d' thug blia'n' air falbh mo neart
Ni bheil feith ghealtach am ghruaidh.
Shaoil leani gu'n togadh mo mhac
Mo leac 's gu'n caireadh e mo cheann ;
Chaoidh ni n' togar fgiath no leac
Le oig'ear flathail na'n deas lann.
Bha cheim air adhairt fa chath,
Ach dh' fhaihg gach caraid mu'n cuairt
Bha ioma naimhdin na fìri',
'S thuit an laoch roimh mhile fluagh.
Beannachd, ars' an Righ, do'n laoch,
Ach na aonar ni 'm fead e falbh,
Theid Ceann d' Alba 'nocd na lorg ;
'S dorch do choigrich tamh na'm marbh,
Ghlac Og-bhan mac Chorbhui a fgiath,
An diomhain duinn gu eirigh grein ?
No 'n dean fibh feidh do 'n luchd mio-ruin
Ann fin do labhair Ceannard treun.
'S Trie thug fiol Alb' an t flige ciuin,
Ach cuin a thainig bas air coigrich
Nuair a thachair iad le muirn ?
Is treabhach maifeach linn Lochlainn,
'S buighnidh finne fos ar cliuth .
Ciod uim' a thuiteadhmaid mar neul
A thig le ftleo le linne bhuirn.
