Alasdair Mhic

Cholla Ghasda

As do laimh-s' gun

Earbainn tapaidh

Mharbhadh Tighearna

Ach-nam-Breac leat

Chula mi’n de

Sgeul nach bait leam

Glaschu a bhith

Dol 'na lasair

Glaschu a bhith

Dol 'na lasair

'S Obair-Dheathain

'N deidh a chreachadh

Translation:

Alastair, son of gallant Cholla,

From your arms I would expect heroic deeds.

The Lord of Each nam Breac was killed by you

I heard yesterday a strange story

That Glasgow was going up in flames

And Aberdeen was being pillaged
