| Appears On : | Ar Cànan 'S Ar Ceòl (compilation) |
| Language : | Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) |
| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Bi tu a' strìth 's chan eil dòigh gun tuig thu chaoidh | You can try but you'll never understand |
| An gaol a tha fo aisne mo chlèibh | This feeling I have inside |
| Tha e 'gam gharadh ann am fionnachd oidhche | It is with me in the darkest hours |
| Is mi leam fhèin an ciùin chadail | And in the quietest moment |
| Sèist : | Chorus : |
| Is Gàidheal mi, cho pròiseil is sèimh | I am a Gael, so gentle and proud |
| Mo chridhe ri Dia is ri mo dhaoine | I trust in God and my people |
| Riaslaichidh mi, a ghràidh, anns an duibhre fhuar | I will follow you through the mists of time |
| Gus am bi mi ann an tearmann mo luchd dùthcha | 'Til we meet again in the land of my ancestors |
| Shnàmhnainn ann an cuan do cheud mìle pòg | It is in my heart and it is on my breath |
| Le tuil do ghràidh còmhdaich mis' | The love that I have for you, can you feel it? |
| Stèidhich misneachd bhuan 's na caisg i | Protects me when I am weak |
| 'S bheir solus dhomh nach mùch | And it gives me strength |
| 'N uair thionndaidheas tìm gun fhanadh | Whenever I'm feeling tired |
| (Sèist) | (Chorus) |
| Ged dh' fhuiligeas mi gaoid | People try to do me harm |
| Leòn, cha bhi mo spiorad brùit' | But they know they never can |
| 'N uair bhitheas tu fhèin a ghaoil, 'nam thac-sa | Not when I have you with me |
| As d' aonais, a ghràidh, tha m' fheasgar a' ciaradh | Stand by my side and never forsake me |
| 'S tu mo reul iùil gu sìorraidh | And guide me forever |
| (Sèist 2x) | (Chorus 2x) |
