| Lyrics: | English Translation: |
| Mur b'e thusa bhiodh an Cuilithionn | But for you the Cuillin would be |
| 'Na mhur eagarra gorm | An exact and serrated blue rampart |
| Ag crioslachadh le bhalla-criche | Girdling with its march-wall |
| Na tha 'nam chridhe borb | All that is in my barbarous heart |
| Mur b'e thusa bhiodh a'ghaineamh | But for you the sand |
| Tha'n Talasgar dumhail geal | That is in Talisker, compact and white |
| 'Na clar biothbuan do mo dhuilean | Would be a measureless plain to my expectations |
| Air nach tilleadh an run-ghath | And on it the spear desire would not turn back |
| 'S mur b'e thusa bhiodh na cuantan | But for you the oceans |
| 'Nan luasgan is 'nan tamh | In their unrest and their repose |
| A'togail cair mo bhuadhan | Would raise the wave crest of my mind |
| 'Ga cur air suaimhneas ard | And settle it on a high serenity |
|
Don't tell me it's easier alone Don't tell me your world don't need a home Savor the first drops of rain Falling on your soul's dusty plains |
|
| 'S bhiodh am monadh donn riabhach | And the brown brindled moorland |
| Agus mo chiall co-shint | And my reason would co-extend |
| 'Ach chuir thusa orra riaghladh | But you imposed on them an edict |
| Os cionn mo phianaidh fhin | Above my own pain |
| Agus air creachainn chein fhasmhoir | And on a distant luxuriant summit |
| Chinn blathmhor Craobh nan Teud | There blossomed the Tree of Strings |
| 'Na meangach duillich t'aodann | Among its leafy branches your face |
| Mo chiall is aogas reil | My reason and the likeness of a star |
|
Don't tell me it's easier alone Don't tell me your world don't need a home Savor the first drops of rain Falling on your soul's dusty plains |
|
| Mur b'e thusa bhiodh an Cuilithionn | But for you the Cuillin would be |
| 'Na mhur eagarra gorm | An exact and serrated blue rampart |
| Ag crioslachadh le bhalla-criche | Girdling with its march-wall |
| Na tha 'nam chridhe borb | All that is in my barbarous heart |
