Scottish Gaelic translation
Fheachd Alba, thug le Uallas buaidh,
Stric fo Bhrus bha n cogadh cruaidh,
Failte dhuibh gu fois na h-uaigh,
No gu buaidh is sith.
Now s the day, an now s the hour:
See the front o battle lour,
See approach proud Edward s power Chains and Slavery.
Now is the day, and now is the hour:
See the front of battle threaten,
See the approach of proud Edward s power
Chains and slavery.
So an latha—an uair so tha,
Feuch fo n cruaidh a nuas mar sgail,
Feachd na h-uaill fo Ionbhar dan,
Dheanamh thraillean dinn.
