| Credits : | Eilidh Mackenzie |
| Appears On : | Fama Clamosa |
| Language : | Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) |
| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Thoir tiodhlac aost | Take an old gift |
| Deòir màthar ghlan | A mother's pure tears |
| Is Thì ta còmhnaidh | And He is living |
| Am maise nur latha | In the beauty of your day |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| Trobhadaidh is leanamaid | Come and let us follow |
| Dithis na bainnse mu chuairt an t-sluaigh | The bridal couple among their guests |
| Sìnibh sligh is dannsaibh gu crìch | Stretch their path and dance until the end |
| Trobhadaidh is leanamaid | Come and let us follow |
| Dithis na bainnse mu chuairt an t-sluaigh | The bridal couple among their guests |
| Thoir tiodhlac ùr | Take a new gift |
| Latha do sheanmhar, glaist' | Your grandmother's day, locked |
| Anns na h-àrdaibh | In the heavens |
| A' tilleadh le mìle bàidh | Returning with endless hospitality |
| Thoir tiodhlac 'r iasad | Take a borrowed gift |
| Bhon sgàthan uaine àigh | From the green mirror of his soul |
| Aisling oighreachd | A vision of his heritage |
| Ann an sùil do ghràidh | In the eye of your love |
| Thoir tiodhlac ghorm | Take a blue gift |
| Cuan ciùin gun tràigh | A calm, shoreless ocean |
| Is òigh na mara | And the young maiden of the sea |
| Na siùil, bhur taghadh | In her sails, your choice |
| Thi ta còmhnaidh anns na h-àrdaibh | He who is living in the heavens |
| Sùil do ghràidh air òigh na mara | The eye of your love on the young maiden of the sea |
