Tha
an rathad a' ruith go tuath
Gleanntan sgapte air gach
taoibh
A' ghrian tro ghiuthas nam mor-shliabh
Saighdean oir
dhar leon an agh
Thuirt m'anam rium, "Nach teid thu
null
Cuir eallach is cruadhchas air do chul
Is gun cur an
t-aite sealach failte oirnn
Is bi mi comhla riut an
drasd"
Sunndach a tha mi
Tron oighreachd
bhoidheach,bhoidheach, bhuan
Bha thu daonnan na mo smuaint
Tro
laithean iseal is bristeadh-cridhe
Tog orm mo chiall, tog orm
mo bhith
Le cridhe aodrom, cridheil, ciuin
A liuthad cuan a
ghiulain do dhaoine
Is iad a' triall na slighe bhuat
Is
ged tha an saoghal dol bun os cionn
Is astar bhliadhnaichean
tighinn oirnn
Is ged tha mo dhuil ag eirigh suas
Is iomadh
sgurr a bhios fo sgleo
Ach tha na siontan liath, is na siontan
blath
Le blas cho diamhair is nach gabh e inns
Is tha an
lus tha fas air croit Dhomnaill Bhain
Cho buidhe an diugh is a
bha i riamh

The
road is stretching to the north
Great glens scattered on every
side
The sun glinting throught he mountain pines
Arrows of
gold wounding us in joy
My soul said, "Come across to see
me
Put your burdens and hardships behind you
This temporary
place will give us welcome
And I will be with you again"
I
am contented
Passing through the beautiful, eternal
landscape
You were always in my thoughts
Through the low
days and the heartbreak
Lift up my understanding, clothe me in
my existence
With a light, a pleasing and a gentle heart
Many
were the oceans that carried your people
As they journeyed
away from you
Although the world has turned upside
down
And the distance of years is upon us
And although my
hope is rising to the heights
Many clouds will approach the
summit
But the skies are blue, the skies are warm
With a
warmth so profound it can not be described
And the flower that
is growing an Domhnall Ban's croft
Is as yellow as it ever was
