Blìiodh gach truaghan gun dìth air,
Mu 'n cuairt air na suinn ud,
Cha sealladh iad ìosal,
Bha 'n inntinn robh stàtail.

Air gach taobh agus romhaibh,
A null air chuan domhain,

Do 'n ghaoith a bhi tairis,
Gus an giùlain i thairis,
'Ur mnathan 's 'ur pàisdean.
Biodh an fhairge le mothar,
Toirt an spid as an reothart,
Biodh N'eptnne 'ga clobhadh,
Gun torn has ro àrd orr' ;

Gun eagal a ghabhail,
Dol air tìr mar is maith leibh,
Ann an calaichean sàbhailt'.

Ciu dùthaich na meala,
Gu dùthaich a' iihainne,
Mu 'n cuairt air na suinn ud,
Cha sealladh iad ìosal,
