Lyrics

Gràidhaich mi ach an gràdhaich mi thusa. Mur a gràdhaich thu mi chan eil rian aig mo ghràdhsa ruighinn ort. Tuig sin, a sheirbhisich! O mhic na bithe! Dìochuimhnich na h-uile ach mi Agus co-labhair rim o spiorad. Is e seo brìgh m’àithne is mar sin tionndaidh thuice. O mhic na soillse! O mhic na soillse. Gràidhaich mi ach an gràdhaich mi thusa. Mur a gràdhaich thu mi chan eil rian aig mo ghràdhsa ruighinn ort. Tuig sin, a sheirbhisich! O mhic na bithe!

Lyrics Translated

Love Me, that I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee. Know this, O servant. O son of being! Forget all save Me and commune with My spirit. This is the essence of My command, Therefore turn unto it. O son of light! Love Me, that I may love thee. If thou lovest Me not, My love can in no wise reach thee. Know this, O servant. O son of being!
