Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Gàir nan tonn gur trom an nuallan Heavy is the crying and murmuring of the waves
Seirm am chluais do ghlòir Ringing your praises in my ear
Dàn nam beann gach allt is fuaran The poetry of the mountains is in every spring and burn
Siaradh nuas le'd cheol Bearing your music down
'S tù gach làtha gun tàmh mo bhuaireadh Every day is, without respite, provoking me
D'iargain bhuan gam leòn And your eternal loss wounds me
'S tù gach oidhche chaoich mo bhruadar You are my nightly dream forever
Gu Thìr Nan Òg The Land of Youth
   
Bàs neo bròn cha bheo nad loinn fhir Neither death nor sorrow can abide within you
Uir air foill 's air gò Where all treachery and deceit are buried, overcome
Sair sior òl do dheo 's do chaoimhneis Where the excellent ones partake of your sweet breath and benevolence
Aoibhneas snàmh 's na neoil Joy swims in your firmament
Reultan airde latha sa dh'oidhche And high stars, day and night
Boillsgeadh seamh troimh cheò Shine peacefully through a mist
Teudan tlàtha fàs ad choilltean While the gentle sound of strings rise from your woods
Gu Thìr Nan Òg The Land of Youth
   
Cùl nan tonn tha long mo bhruadair Behind the waves is the galley of my dreams
Fuaradh mar bu nòs ___
Rùn an Dàin a ghnàth ga gluasad Fate's design moving her smoothly
Ciuin le luaths an eoin With the speed of a bird
Iubraich Bhàin na fàg mi'm thruaghan Lubhraich Bhain, do not abandon me, like a wretch
Taobh nan cuantan mòr This side of the great oceans
Doimhne craidh is gràdh gam dhuanadh Where the depth of my torment, and my love, mold and prepare me
Gu Tìr Nan Òg For the Land of Youth
