| Language : | Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) |
| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Chi mi bhuam, fada bhuam | I see from me, far from me |
| Chi mi bhuam ri muir-làn | I see from me to high-tide |
| Chi mi Muile nam beann fuar | I see Mull of the cold mountains |
| Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil | Far from me across the seas |
| Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil | Far from me across the seas |
| Chi mi mullach nam beann mór | I see the tops of the big mountains |
| Anns an òg-mhadainn aigh | In the brave dawn |
| An t-aon as airde dhiubh nan còrr | The height of each one of them is excessive |
| 'S badan ceò air a bàrr | And a cloud of mist on top |
| Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil | Far from me across the seas |
| Chì mi ghucag air an fhraoch | I see a bud upon the heather |
| Chì mi'n caorann fo bhlàth | I see the rowan tree in bloom |
| Chì mi uisge glan nam beann | I see clear water of the mountains |
| Tigh'nn 'na dheann leis gach màm | Coming in haste with each mound |
| Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil | Far from me across the seas |
| Tir a' bharraich, tìr nan stuadh | Land of the treetops, land of the waves |
| 'S tric a luaidh ort na bàird | 'Tis often its wool on you, the bard |
| 'S nuair a thug mi riut mo chùl | And when I turned my back on you |
| Rinn mi dùsgadh gu dàn | I awoke boldly |
| 'S bidh mi luaidh ort gu bràth | And I will love you forever |
| Chi mi bhuam, fada bhuam | I see from me, far from me |
| Chi mi bhuam ri muir-làn | I see from me to high-tide |
| Chi mi Muile nam beann fuar | I see Mull of the cold mountains |
| Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil | Far from me across the seas |
| Fada bhuam thar an t-sàil | Far from me across the seas |
