| Sona (original) | Sona (translation) |
|---|---|
| Taobh cul an dorais cha robh grian | Behind the door there was no sun |
| Cha robh biadh is cha robh fion | There was no food and no wine |
| Tha la' an t-saoradh neist air tighinn | The day of the release of the neist has arrived |
| Mar tuil, mar eun air sgiath | Like a flood, like a bird on a wing |
| Cum a mach do shuil is eisd | Keep an eye out and listen |
| Tha tobar shaibhreas aig an fheis | The festival is a source of wealth |
| Ar clann an-diugh, le guth an de | Our children today, with the voice of yesterday |
| Gasgaich og, le mire, le speis | Gasgaich og, le mire, le spes |
| Sona 'drasd 'tha mi | I'm happy now |
| 'S mi gun uallach bhon a' ghreun | I'm carefree from the sun |
| Lin ur a tighinn gu bi | Lin ur come to be |
| 'Mach a fasach lom is tiorram | 'Out of the barren and dry wilderness |
| Thai I ladir, tha I orach | Thai I ladir, tha I orach |
