We '11 seek our native vales, And we '11 hear the Highland tales, That the friends of our childhood are telling.
'Us chi sinn an caol, air 'm faca sinn, le gaoith,
Na bataichean aotrom seoladh;
'Us chi sinn na beanntan a gleidheadh sneachd 's
an t-samhraidh,
'Us chi sinn na li-ainihnichean boidheach.
O theid sinn, &c.
'Us chi sinn na gliun, mu'n ait' 's an d'rugadh sinn
'S am bitheadh sinn aotrom gorach ;
'Us thi sinn na coilltean, le aighear is toil-inntinn
'S am bitheadh sinn a cluinntinn an smeorach.
O theid sinn, &c.
Again we '11 view the places that we knew —
The bay with boats in motion,
The mountains all sublime with their snow in
summer time.
And rivers rolling down to the ocean.
Away, &c.
We '11 see each ben, and bonnie, bonnie glen,
And wander through the wild wood.
Where the thrush on leafy spray warbles all the
live-long day.
Where we used to play in childhood.
Away, &c.
