Triall Mara na h-Ì

Lyrics:

Iomair ò, 'illean mhara,
Iomair ò, 'illean mhara,
'Illean ò, hò ro èile,
I mo ghaoil, gur naomh do bhruadar.

Iomair ò, 'illean mhara,
Iomair ò, 'illean mhara,
'Illean ò, hò ro èile,
Rìgh na shuain a' triall gud chala.

Iomair ò, 'illean mhara,
Iomair ò, 'illean mhara,
'Illean ò, hò ro èile,
Thall ad ùir gur ciùin a shuain da.
