Gu seinn mi laoidh do Mhoire Gur Moire Màthair mo Dhè, Gur Moire ’n Oigh as dìsle, ’S tha fuil nan rìgh na fèith. Dèan cobhair orm, a Mhoire, ’S mi cur laodh mholaidh ’n cèill; Nuair nì na h-euc’raich tàir ort, Bheir mise, Mhàth’ir, dhug spèis. A Dhìthein ghil a’ ghlinne, Ròis dhìomhairich an àigh, Chan eil an lus as bòidhche Cho docha leam na fhàs. Thoir cead dhomh, ged nach fhiù mi, Do chliù a chur an cèill; Nuair nì na h-euc’raich tàir ort, Bheir mise, Mhàth’ir, dhut spèis.

I will sing a hymn to Mary To our Mary, Mother of God To our Virgin Mary most faithful The blood of kings is in her veins. Protect me, o Mary, And preparing a hymn of praise; When the criminals cause you harm, I will, Mother, give you respect. O white flower of the glen, Secretive rose of the beautiful kind The most beautiful flower Is not better than it in its growth. Allow me, though I may not be capable, Of giving you renown When the criminals cause you harm, I will, Mother, give you respect. Translation by Gillebride MacMillan
