| Mac mo righ air tighinn a dh'Alba | Now that my King's son has come to Scotland |
| Air lang mhor air bharr na fairge | On a great ship across the waves |
| Air long riomhach nam ball airgid | On a stately ship with silver rigging |
| Tearlach og nan gorm shuil mealach | Young Charles of the beguiling blue eyes |
| Failte, failte mian is clui dhuit | Welcome, welcome, love and renown to you |
| Fidhleireachd is ragha a'uil dhuit | Playing of fiddles and the choicest of music for you |
| Co a sheinneas an fhideag airigid | Who will sound the silver whistle? |
| Co a sheinneadh? Nach seinninn fhin i? | Who is to say that I will not sound it myself? |
