Bhiodh do ghillean ri solas,
lad gu mireagach boidheach,
lad a' sireadh ni 's leoir,
'S iad ag òl mar a thig.
lad gu h-aighearrach fonnmhor,
lad gun athadh, gun lompas ;
lad ro mhaith air an rongais,
'N uair a b' anndachd an cluich.

Ciu 'n robh bruaidhlean 's a' mhisg.

Gu 'm bi fear 'na chilis mhi-loinn
Gu 'm bi aithlise lionmhor ;

Bhiodh do ghillean ri solas,

lad a' sireadh ni 's leoir,
'S iad ag òl mar a thig.
