| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| O mo dhùthaich' stu th'air m'aire | Oh my country, you are on my mind |
| Uibhist chòmhraidh ùr nan gallan | Fresh, fragrant Uist of the saplings |
| Far a faighte na daoin' uaisle | Where the noble men are found |
| Far 'm bu dual do Mhac 'ic Ailein | Who gave their hereditary allegiance to Mac ic Ailein |
| Tìr a' mhurain, tìr an eorna | Land of seabed, land of barley |
| Tìr 's am pailt a h-uile seòrsa | Land of abundance of every kind |
| Far am bi na gillean òga | Where the young lads will be |
| Gabhail òran 's 'g òl an lionna | Singing songs and drinking beer |
| Thig iad ugainn, carach, seòlta | Whey will come to us, cunning and wily |
| Gus ar mealladh far ar n-eòlais | In order to entice us from our homes |
| Molaidh iad dhuinn Manitòba | They will praise Manitoba to us |
| Dùthaich fhuar gun ghual, gun mhùine | A cold country with no coal and no peat |
