(lus a faca mi "m bàta
Le siiiil àrda ri dos
'I'igh' nn bho Rudha na h-Airdc
"S mac an àrmuinn ri stoc.
Mac an àrmuinn ri stiiiireadh,
A' tigh' nn a dh' ionnsuidh an t-Snoid
Steach troimh chaolas a' beucadh
"S muir ag eirigh ri stoc
Tha do làmhsa cho gleusda,
"S cha do threig thu do neart,
(jed a thigeadh muir dii-ghorm,
Cliuireadh sriiladh a steach.
Bu tu sgiobair na fairge,
"S tu fear falmadair grinn,
'S tu gu 'n deanadh a stiiiireadh,
'Nuair a dhiiiltadh each i,
"Xuair a bheireadh iad thairis,
"S iad nan luidhe 's an tuim,
Chuireadh tus' i cho gàireach,
Gus an tàradh i tir.
Cha bu ghlas bho 'n a' chuan thu,
Cha bu duaichnidh do dhreach,
<led a dh' eireadh muir tuaireap,
Agus stuadhana cas,
Bagradh reef oxx le soirbheas,
Le stoirm 'us droch fhras,
Bha do mhisneach cho làidir,
'S bha do làmhsa cho maith.
