| O chraobh nan ubhal, o | Oh apple tree |

| O chraobh nan ubhal, o | Oh apple tree |
| Aithnich fhéin a'chraobh tha leamsa | Know the tree that is mine |
| Chraobh as mùtha 's as mìlse ùbhlan | The tallest with the sweetest apples |
| ___ | Its trunk strikes downwards, its top is bending |
| Chraobh nan ubhal, gu robh Dia leat | Apple tree, may God be with you |
| Gu robh 'n àird an ear 's an iar leat | May the east and the west be with you |
| Go robh gach gealach agus grian leat | May every sun and moon be with you |
| ___ | May every element be with you |
