Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Seinneam cliù nam fear ùr |
I sing the praises of the new men |
|
Gillean glun-gheal nam breacan |
White-kneed lads of the tartan |
|
Feileadh beag os cionn nan glun |
Their kilts above the knee |
|
Eideadh sunndach nan gaisgeach |
Hearty uniform of the heroes |
| |
|
|
Seinneam cliù na dh'fhag Port-righ |
I sing the praises of those that left Portree |
|
Fo'n cuid pìoban is bhreacan |
With their bagpipes and tartan |
|
Leam bu mhiann a bhi nan cul |
I would like to be behind them |
|
Miann mo shuil bhi gam faicinn |
Joy of my eyes to see them |
| |
|
|
Seinneam cliù na dh' fhalbh a Sleibht' |
I sing the praises of those that left Sleat |
|
Gillean treun nach robh meata |
Brave lads who were not timid |
|
Chaidh a dhion an crun 's an tìr |
Who went to defend crown and country |
|
Bho'n a mhìltear gun cheartas |
From the destructor without justice |
| |
|
|
'S bi an cliù 'ga sheinn gu bràth |
Their fame will be sung forever |
|
Fhad's bhios tonn air tràigh no cladach |
As long as the waves strike a beach or shore |
|
Fhad's bhios grian an aird na speur |
As long as the sun is high in the heavens |
|
Mairidh spèis do na gaisgich |
There will be respect for the heroes |
| |
|
|
(Sèist 2x) |
(Chorus 2x) |
