('S) Cha till, cha till, cha till MacCruimein,
An cogadh no sìth, cha till e tuilleadh.
Cha till, cha till, cha till MacCruimein,
'S ged thilleadh a' phìob, cha till MacCruimein.
Cha till, cha till, cha till MacCruimein,
'S ged thilleadh MacLeòid, cha bheò MacCruimein.
Cha till, cha till, cha till e tuilleadh,
Cha till gu bràth gu Là na Cruinne.
Mo chùl rid chùl, gun dùil ri tilleadh,
Mo bheul rid bheul, 's na deòir a' sileadh.
Mo chùl rid chùl, gun dùil ri tilleadh,
Mo bheul rid bheul, 's na deòir a' sileadh.
Mo chùl tuilleadh riut, gun dùil tilleadh riut,
Gun dùil tilleadh riut, gun dùil tilleadh riut.
Mo chùl tuilleadh riut, gun dùil tilleadh riut
Mo chùl rid chùl, 's na deòir a' sileadh.
('S) Cha till, cha till, cha till MacCruimein,
An cogadh no sìth, cha till e tuilleadh.
Cha till, cha till, cha till MacCruimein,
'S ged thilleadh a' phìob, cha till MacCruimein.
Cha till, cha till, cha till MacCruimein,
'S ged thilleadh MacLeòid, cha bheò MacCruimein.
Cha till, cha till, cha till e tuilleadh,
Cha till gu bràth gu Là na Cruinne.
Mo chùl rid chùl, gun dùil ri tilleadh,
Mo bheul rid bheul, 's na deòir a' sileadh.
Mo chùl rid chùl, gun dùil ri tilleadh,
Mo bheul rid bheul, 's na deòir a' sileadh.
Mo chùl tuilleadh riut, gun dùil tilleadh riut,
Gun dùil tilleadh riut, gun dùil tilleadh riut.
Mo chùl tuilleadh riut, gun dùil tilleadh riut
Mo chùl rid chùl, 's na deòir a' sileadh.
