Mo Bheannachd don Bhàillidh Ùr

Mo bheannachd dhan bhàillidh ùr,
’S tu fhèin a choisinn an cliù
Nuair a thàinig e le thrùp
Dh’uaislean o dhùthaich MhicLeòid.

Is thàine tu led bhàirdse [bad word] 
Ghabh thu timcheall air Port Rìgh;
Thogadh do shaighdearan cìs
Fhad ’s a mhaireadh strì nan dòrn.

Is thàine tu led bhàirds’ mun cuairt,
Ghabh thu timcheall ’Chinn a Tuath
Is dh’inns thu dhaibh gun gheilt gun [bad word] Gur e ’n cuan a bha fo sròin.

Is ùr a’ chraobh on d’ rinn thu fàs,
Na bha fon talamh dhith ’s gu h-àrd
Gun mhosgan am bun no ’m bàrr
Ach an giuthas àlainn òg.

Is Dòmhnallaich sibh taobh air thaobh,
Làmh dhearg as suaicheantas dhuibh,
Long is bradan ’s leòmhann, craobh,
Gidheagan is fraoch glas òg.

who earned a reputation 
when he arrived with his troop 
of noblemen from the land of MacLeod

You came with your barge 
and went round Portree. 
Your soldiers would collect tax
while the fight lasted.
You came with your barge 
and went round the North End, 
informing them without cowardice or gloom 
that you were master of the open seas. 

You are the offshoot of a vigorous tree,
 in root and branch. 
beautiful young fir,
without decay in root or foliage. 

You are MacDonald on both sides. 
Your crest is a red hand, 
a galley, a salmon, a tree, a thistle 
and young green heather.
