¶Lyrics / Text

1. Cha b'e sneachda's an reothadh bho thuath, Cha b'e'n crannadh geur fuar bho'n ear, Cha b'e'n t-uisge is gaillionn bho'n iar, Ach an galar a bhlian bho'n deas. Blàth duilleach, stoc agus freumh, Cànan mo threubh is mo shluaigh. Chorus: Thig thugainn thig co' ruinn gu siar, Gus an cluinn sinn ann cànan nam Féinn; Thig thugainn thig co 'ruinn gu siar, Gus an cluinn sinn ann cànan nan Gaidheal. 2. Bheir a-nuas dhuinn na coinnleirean òr, 'S annt’ càraibh na coinnlean geal céir, Lasaibh suas iad an seòmar a'bhròin, Taigh aire seann chànan a'Ghaidheil; 'Se siud bho chionn fhad' thuirt an nàmh, Ach fhathast tha beò Cànan nan Gaidheal. Chorus 4. Ged nach cluinnear a-nis i 's an dùn, No'n talla nan cliar is nan còrn, Ged tha meòir' Chloinn 'ic Chriomain gun lúths, Bho'n tric fheasgar ciùin dhòirteadh ceòl, Gidheadh, anns na h-Eileanan Siar 'S i fhathast ann, ciad chàinnt' an t-sloigh. Chorus
