Alasdair Mhic o ho
Cholla Ghasda
As do laimh-s' gun o ho
Earbainn tapaidh trom eile
Chall eile bho chall a ho ro
Chall eile bho chall a ho ro
Chall eile huraibh i chall a ho ro
'S haoi o ho trom eile
As do laimh-s' gun o ho
Earbainn tapaidh o ho
Mharbhadh Tighearna o ho
Ach-nam-Breac leat trom eile
'S ged 's beag mi fhein o ho
Bhuail mi ploc air o ho
Chuala mi'n de o ho
Sgeul nach b'ait leam trom eile
Chuala mi'n de o ho
Sgeul nach b'ait leam o ho
Glaschu a bhith o ho
Dol 'na lasair trom eile
Glaschu a bhith o ho
Dol 'na lasair o ho
'S Obair-Dheathain o ho
'N deidh a chreachadh trom eile
Alasdair, Son of Gallant Coll
Alasdair, son of exile Cholla
In your hand I would entrust deeds
The Lord of Ach-nam-breac would be
killed by you
He would be buried at the edge of the loch
And although I would get a bow,
I heard yesterday a sad story
That Glasgow was going down
And Aberdeen is being pillaged
