Moch sa mhadainn ’s mi dùsgadh
Early in the morning as I awaken,
’S mòr mo shunnd ’s mo cheòl-gàire,
Great my joy and loud my laughter,
On a chuala mi ’m Prionnsa
Since I heard that the Prince comes
Thighinn do dhùthaich Chlann Ràghnaill.
To the land of Clanranald.
Refrain: Hùg òl aill ò… etc.

Gràinne mullaich gach rìgh thu,
Thou’rt the choicest of all rulers,
Slàn gum pill thusa, Theàrlaich.
Here’s a health to thy returning.

Here’s a health to thy returning.
’S ann tha ’n fhìorfhuil gun truailleadh
His the royal blood unmingled,
Anns a’ ghruaidh as mòr nàire.
Great the modesty in his visage.

Mar ri barrachd na h-uaisle,
With nobility overflowing
’G èirigh suas le deagh nàdar.
And endowed with all good nature;

’G éirigh suas le deagh nàdar.
And endowed with all good nature;
Us nan tigeadh tu rithist,
And shouldst thou return ever
Bhiodh gach tighearna na àite.
At his post would be each laird.

’S nan càiricht’ an crùn ort
If the crown were placed on thee
Bu mhùirneach do chàirdean.
And thy friends would be joyful.
