ORAN DO NA FOGARRAICH.
'i'OGAiiiH misneachd us solas,
Bithibh inntinneach ceòlmhor,
'Us cuiribh 'ur dòchas
Ann an còmhnadh an Ard-Righ
Bho 'n is eiginn duibh seòladh,
'Us nach ann do 'ur deoin e,
Do 'n righeachd nach eol duibh,
Mar a thòisich 'ur càirdean.
Bho nach fuiling iad beo sibh,
Ann an criochaibh 'ur n-eòlais,
'S feàrr duibh falbh de 'ur deoin as,
Na bhi fòdha mar thràiUean
'S iad na h-uachdarain ghbrach,
A chuir fuaradh fo 'r srònaibh,
'S a bhris muinneal righ Deorsa,
'N uair a dh' fhòg'radh na Gàidheil.
Ma thig cogadh 'us creachadh,
Mar is minic a thachair,
'S ann a bhios sibh 'n 'ur starsaich,
Fo chasaibh bhur nàmhaid ;
Tha sibh soirbh ri bhur casgairt
(kin neach ann gus a' bhacail,
Tha bhur guaillean gun tacsa,
'S na gaisgich 'g 'ur fàgail.
