Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Seinneam cliù nam fear ùr
|
I sing the praises of the new men
|
|
Gillean glun-gheal nam breacan
|
White-kneed lads of the tartan
|
|
Feileadh beag os cionn nan glun
|
Their kilts above the knee
|
|
Eideadh sunndach nan gaisgeach
|
Hearty uniform of the heroes
|
|
|
|
|
Seinneam cliù na dh'fhag Port-righ
|
I sing the praises of those that left Portree
|
|
Fo'n cuid pìoban is bhreacan
|
With their bagpipes and tartan
|
|
Leam bu mhiann a bhi nan cul
|
I would like to be behind them
|
|
Miann mo shuil bhi gam faicinn
|
Joy of my eyes to see them
|
|
|
|
|
Seinneam cliù na dh' fhalbh a Sleibht'
|
I sing the praises of those that left Sleat
|
|
Gillean treun nach robh meata
|
Brave lads who were not timid
|
|
Chaidh a dhion an crun 's an tìr
|
Who went to defend crown and country
|
|
Bho'n a mhìltear gun cheartas
|
From the destructor without justice
|
|
|
|
|
'S bi an cliù 'ga sheinn gu bràth
|
Their fame will be sung forever
|
|
Fhad's bhios tonn air tràigh no cladach
|
As long as the waves strike a beach or shore
|
|
Fhad's bhios grian an aird na speur
|
As long as the sun is high in the heavens
|
|
Mairidh spèis do na gaisgich
|
There will be respect for the heroes
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist 2x)
|
(Chorus 2x)
|
