S gur e truagh air m'aigne...

Iain Ghlinn Cuach

Hu ri ri ubh o, Hiu a' challa hu hug eile...

Ged a's guanach an latha...

Latha dhuinn a mach a dh'Alba...

Faigh a nuas dhuinn am botul, 'S theid an deoch seo mu'n cuairt...

Tha...an diugh na mharbhran...

Chunnacas na tri, na tri...

Mo chasan dubh, mo chasan dubh..
.
Cha teid mi, cha teid mi, O hi ri, a hi ri iu...

Tha mo chridhe mar chuaintean...
