Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Tha crodh air a'bhruaich
Air a bhail' againn fhìn
A bh'ann ri linn mo sheanair
Dubh, donn, agus ribhinn
Toradh na talmhainn
Agus saothair chlann daoin
Ag àiteach an fhearainn
Obair gaisgich nach staoin
(2x)
 
   
Tha na pàircean air an lìonadh The fields are overgrown
Le gach luibh agus buis With weeds and bushes
Far an robh coirce 's arbhar Where oats and corn once were
Gheobhar drisean 's spruis Now brambles and spruce are found
Mar a thriallas na daoine As the people leave
Thig a'choille 'nan déigh The forest comes after them
Ach fhathast air a' bhaile seo But still on this farm
Gheobhar éich agus spréidh You'll find horses and cattle
(2x) (2x)
   
'S iomadh fear thug a West air
Shìreadh cliu agus maoin
Nach d'fhuair e làn dùil
Ged a dh'fhàg e chuid dhaoin
A bhios fuireach am feasd' ann
Le a chridhe goirt, tinn
Ach tha crodh air a 'bhruaich
Air a bhail' againn fhìn
(2x)
