Bha dun don or 'ma hur bhrag'ad, 



Bha flabhruidh oir caoin araidh, 



Bha leine don 'tfrbl a buire, 



Leath ri cneas caoin, gradhach, cubhraidh.

An teaghlach Fhinn iin a h Albhuin 



Gun acn duine don Fheinn 



Ga mhnaoi fein ach don ionbhuin.

An ribhin is i gu bofgheal binn, 



Cliuir i comraiche eile air Goll, 



Le fad laoch aluin nan fonn, 



'S air Ofgar mac OiflTain eile, 



'S air a Chaol chrodhach mac Ruighair.
