Fetch down the golden chandeliers And set the white wax candles in them Light them up in the chamber of sorrow The wake house of the old Gaelic language That's what the enemy said a long time ago But the Gaelic language still lives Although she has retreated from the glens Though one hears her so seldom now From the Mackay far in the north Down to Drumochter of the cattle But even so, we need to have the sword and shield In our fists in the Western Isles
Thank you ;)

Although it is no longer heard in the castle
Nor in the hall of bards and drinking cups
Though the fingers of the MacCrimmons lie without strength
Which once played such splendid music of an evening
She's even under threat in the Isles
Though it's still the first language of the people
