AcH ge fada mi m' dhusgadh,
Gur a pailte le m' dhiisal no m' thàmh,
Gu bheil sac air mo ghiulan,
Agus aiceid 'ga' m' chiiiradh le cràdh ;
'S beag de shòlas na diithcha,
Tha dhe m' chòmhradh ri dhusgadh an tràths',
'Na 'bheil a dhith air a chiinntais,
Dh' fhàg e sgith sinn 'ga dhusgadh gach la.
Gur e fuaradh na Bealltuinn
Dh' fhàg am bruaillean 'nar ceann gun lihi slàn,
Sinn a' còpadh gu frasach
Air na dh' òl na fir ghasda dhe 'n t-sàl ;
Ar sàr chònnspuinn Gilleasbuig,
Agus Eoin a chùil chleachdaich mo ghràdh !
Dh' fhàg iad tàirnean 'n ar cridhe
Chaoidh cha slànuich aon lighich ach lias.
Fhuair sinn fuaradh 'n a dheigh,
'S trie an ruaig ud 'g ar taghal a ghnath,
