Alba |
| Air sgiath a’seoladh nan neoil |
| 'S an domhain liath |
| Mar dhealbh a’tighinn beo tro na sgothan |
| 'S mi a’tilleadh gu tir |
| Alba nam beanntan ard |
| Nan acraichean lom |
| Thairis air na lochan mointich |
| Nan coilltean 's nan gleann |
| Ach 'se sealladh leointe is gann |
| Tha an seo aig ceann thall an linn |
| Talamh alainn nan daoine |
| Fhathast an lamhan duine no dithis |
| Cuibhlean stolda mu dheas |
| Na fasaichean a tuath |
| An taigh-mor falamh an Dun-Eideann |
| Gun chumhachd gun ghuth |
| Taigh ri taigh |
| Gus nach bi ait anns an tir |
| An gabh sibh comhnaidh air leth |
| Ach 's math dhomh bhith seo an drasd |
| A cur failt air a’bhlas |
| 'San tir a tha cho ur dhomh an diugh |
| Is a bha i nuair bha mi 'nam phaisd |
| Scotland |
| This flight is sailing through the c louds |
| And the blue heavens |
| The homeland appears like a developing photograph |
| Through the mists as I return to land |
| I see Scotland of the high mountains |
| And the empty acres |
| Flying low across the moorland lochs |
| The forests and the glens |
| But it’s |
| a wounding and a hollow sight |
| Here as we reach the end of the century |
| The beautiful soil of the people |
| Still in the hands of the few |
| I see the wheels of industry at a standstill |
| And the northern lands wasted |
| And the empty house in Edinburgh |
| Withou |
| t authority or voice |
| You that have laid field upon field |
| House upon house |
| Till there be nowhere for you to be placed alone |
| In the midst of all the earth |
| But it is good for me to be here now |
| As I welcome the warmth |
| In this land that’s as exciting |
| for me today |
| As it was the day I was born |
