Summary edit

Description
Gàidhlig: Faclan:

1 Tha mulad, tha gruaim orm, tha bròn, On dh'imich mo chàirdean air folbh, On chaidh iad air astar Gun chinnt mun teachd dhachaidh, Tha m' inntinn fo airtneal nas leòir.

2 Gun cluinn mi naidheachd as binn Air gach duine a dh'imich on tìr : Gum pilleadh sibh dhachaidh Le cruadal 's le gaisge, 'S gun crùinteadh an Sasann leibh 'n rìgh.

3 Beir soraidh gu Dòmhnall nan Dùn, Gu h-Uilleam 's gu Seumas, nan triùir ; Dar a chruinnicheas uaislean De d' chinneadh mun cuairt duit,

Glac an t-urram a fhuair thu le cliù.
English: 1

There is sadness, grief, and I am gloomy, Since my friends have gone away; Since they have departed Uncertain in homecoming, My mind is greatly distressed.

2 May I hear the sweetest news Of all those who left the land: May you return home With courage and boldness, To crown the king in England.

3 Send a blessing to Donald of the Forts, (Dòmhnall nan Dùn)1 To William and to James, those three: When the gentry of your kindred Assemble around you,

Seize the honour you acquired with renown.
