| Thairis Air A Ghleann (original) | Thairis Air A Ghleann (translation) |
|---|---|
| Choimhead mi ri mo chul | I looked behind me |
| Gun nèimh gun truas | Without heaven without pity |
| Larach mo chasan mu sgaoil | Loosen my feet |
| 'S iad a' triall tro an uir | As they walk through the earth |
| Gu toiseach 's gu deireadh uair | To the beginning and to the end of an hour |
| 'S gu na laithean soilleir buan | And to the clear lasting days |
| Thairis air a' ghleann | Over the glen |
| Thainig thu nuas | You came down |
| Gu fàsach truagh | Poorly deserted |
| 'S thog thu am faileas bho’n a' ghleann | And you lifted the shadow from the glen |
| Buidheachas is nàire | Gratitude and shame |
| An tomhas air gach làmh | The measure on each hand |
| Togaidh sinn do chliu an aird | We will raise your profile |
| Air slighe Dhia | In the way of God |
| O molaidh sinn | O we will praise |
| An gaol is an gràs | Love and grace |
| A thug dhuinn bith | Who gave us anything |
| Cho umhail fo ghrein | So humble under the sun |
| 'S i dealradh sìos | It shines down |
| Air reultan cèin | On foreign stars |
