ORAN FIR GHRIMINIS.
MocH 's mi 'g eiridh
Fo sprochd 's fo eislein,
Gur bochd mo sgeula
'S'cha bhreug mo chainnt,
Ma 's sgeula fior e,
'S'e sgeula is cianala,
Chualas riamh
Ann an Innse-Gall.
'S e sgeula mòr e
Air bheagan sòlais,
'S e sgeula bhròin e
Gun cheol, gun fhonn ;
'S e sgeul is truaighe
Chuala cluas e,
Air bheagan buannachd
'S gur buan a chall.
'S e sgeul tha cruaidh e
Gu 'n d' ghabh sibh fuadach,
Ar sar dhaoin'-uaisle
Gun ghruaim, gun sgraing ;
Gu 'n d' ghabh sibh fògradh,
'S cha b' ann 'g 'ur deòin,
Dha 'n an tir nach b' eolach
An seòrs' ud ann.
