Eiridh bileag ùr-ghorm As a’ ghràinne sìl Bha san talamh dhorcha Iomadh latha sìnt’; Gràdh air tighinn beò Is Beath’ air tighinn à bàs, Gràdh air tighinn beò Mar fhochann òg a’ fàs. Chàraich iad do uaigh Fear- Gràidh a fhuair am bàs; Smaoinich iad nach gluaiseadh E gu sìorraidh bràth. Anns an talamh dùint’ Mar shìol ùr a’ fàs, Thàinig Esan beò Mar fhochann òg a’ fàs.

A new green-shoot will rise From a grain of seed That was in the dark soil For many a day Love has come alive And life has come from death Love has come alive Like young corn blades growing. They sent to the grave A beloved one who died They thought that he would Not move again In the closed ground Like a new seed growing He came alive Like young corn blades growing.
