| Chuir mi mo chul ri Lunnainn
| I turned my back on London
|
| An samhradh air m’aodann
| Summer is on my face
|
| 'S mi air sraidean mor na Roinn-Eorpa
| I'm on the high streets of Europe
|
| 'S mi le mo run, le m’anam, mo bhratach
| I am my love, my soul, my banner
|
| Mo ghrian mo ghealach ur
| My sun my new moon
|
| 'S sheas mi’s na aiteachan a sheas m’athair
| And I stood in the place where my father stood
|
| 'S ioma cogadh a tha ann airson saorsa
| There are many wars for freedom
|
| Da fhicead bliadhna’s an dileab air fhagail
| Twenty years is the legacy left
|
| Briaran do linn’s do sheorsa
| Words for your pool’s type
|
| Baile beag anns a' Ghearmailt

| Such a beautiful girl
|
| Le suilean lan sonas is bron
| With eyes full of happiness and sorrow

| Thuirt i «am bheil fhios agaibh fhein, an t-sochair
| She said «do you know, the privilege
|
| 'tha agaibh Tha eallach eachraidh air mo ghuaillan cho trom»
| You have a cavalry burden on my shoulders so heavy »
|
| Chrath sinn lamhan, 's dh’fhalbh I a’seinn
| We shook hands, and she went singing
|
| An dan tha dcmhainn, 's gach anam de dhaoine
| The poem is powerful, and every soul of man
|
| Dh’fhag mi i le blas beag de mo dhuthaich
| I left it with a little taste of my country
|
| Dh’fhag i mi leis a chompanas ur
| She left me with her new companion
|
| Tha na brataich a’snamh
| The flags are fluttering
|
| An cuan de dhathan
| The ocean of colors
|
| Do chanan binn an cluas na Roinn-Eorpa
| Your sweet language is the ear of Europe
|
| Tha na sraidean beo le cainnt’s togair
| The streets are lively and lively
|
| Sraidean am Babel ur
| Streets of the new Babel
|
| 'S thusa mo run, tha cothrom mad choinneamh
| You are my love, I have an opportunity
|
| Tha do chliu air 'dhol tarsainn an cuan
| Your reputation has crossed the ocean
|
| Thusa tha meanbh, bi ladir, bi alainn
| You are tiny, be strong, be beautiful
|
| Taisbean do chanan, bi buan
| Show your language, be lasting
