Lyrics:
 
'Stric tha thu 'g radh nach fhaigh thu cadal
hoireann o ro, a bhi e ho
Mucht' mat a tha thu a' tamh a's a bhaile
Hao ribhi eile, o hi a bho
'Smor tha an iondrainn a tha bhuat-sa
hoireann o ro, a bhi e ho
Dhol leis a' ghaoith ghlan mar bu dual dhut
Hao ribhi eile, o hi a bho
 
Sèist:
Dean eirigh, eirigh faramach
'S e do chridhe as fhearr a dh'aithnicheas
Dean eirigh, eirigh faramach
Cur an rathad mor fo d'chasan-sa
Dean eirigh, eirigh faramach
'S e do chridhe as fhearr a dh'aithnicheas
Dean eirigh, eirigh faramach
Cur an rathad mor fo d'chasan-sa
 
Ged nach dearbh do rathad solas na saorsa
hoireann o ro, a bhi e ho
Gabh for a challtuinn, seunadh [bad word] Hao ribhi eile, o hi a bho
Cha bhi do shlighe crion gun storas
hoireann o ro, a bhi e ho
Le meas a chiull is cno an eolais
Hao ribhi eile, o hi a bho
 
Mas e seo do righainn, cha b'idir fogairt
hoireann o ro, a bhi e ho
Miad mor an t-saoghall fo do bhrogan
Hao ribhi eile, o hi a bho
Do sgriob ga do thoirt that bheanntan's chuantan
hoireann o ro, a bhi e ho
'S tu giulain do dhachaidh ri do ghualainn
Hao ribhi eile, o hi a bho

Your heart it is that knows best
