Gur ann an America tha sinn an drasd',
Fo dhubhar no coille, nach teirig gu bra h.
'N uair dh'fhalbhas an dulachd 's a thionndaidh's
am bla hs.
Bithidh cnothan, bidh uhlan 's bithidh an
siucar a' fas
Thoir mo shoraidh le failte Chinn-t-Saile nam no/,
Far 'n d'fhuair mi greis m'a
ach 's mi'm phaisde beag og.
Bhiodh fleasgaichean donn air bonnaibh ri ceol,
Agus nionagan dualach 's an gruaidh mar an ros
-------------------------------------------------
We are now
In America
In the shade
Of the never-ending forest
When winter departs
And warmth returns
Nuts, apples
And sugar will grow
Bear my farewell and greeting
To Kintail and cattle
Where I spent my time of upbringing
When I was a young child
There dark-haired lads
Would dance heel and toe to the music
And lassies with flowing tresses
And cheeks like the rose
Fo dhubhar no coille, nach teirig gu bra h.
'N uair dh'fhalbhas an dulachd 's a thionndaidh's
am bla hs.
Bithidh cnothan, bidh uhlan 's bithidh an

Far 'n d'fhuair mi greis m'a
