Lyrics: English Translation:
   
Cho aosd' ri tìde oro As old as time oro
Eilean còmhnard oro This rustic isle oro
Sluagh pròiseil oro A proud people oro
Lìn gu lìn oro Though the generations oro
   
Sèist: Chorus:
Ho hi ri oro Ho hi ri oro
Ho ro u bha hoireann oro Ho ro u bha hoireann oro
Ho hi ri oro Ho hi ri oro
Ho ro bha hoireann oro Ho ro bha hoireann oro
   
Air an oir oro On the edge oro
Toidhlaig nàduir oro This gem of nature oro
Oighreachd phrìseil oro A priceless inheritance oro
Eilean na Hearadh oro The Isle of Harris oro
   
(Sèist 2x) (Chorus 2x)
   
Airgead 's neart oro Power and money oro
Teachd air adhart oro Progress oro
Dol a dhìth oro Destruction oro
Millte a chaoidh oro Destroyed forever oro
   
(Sèist) (Chorus)
   
Caillte a chaoidh oro Lost forever oro
Caillte a chaoidh oro Lost forever oro
Caillte a chaoidh oro Lost forever oro
Caillte a chaoidh oro Lost forever oro
