1. Fuaim a' bhlàir, ceòl a' chogaidh An guth 's an nàire Air cluasan eachdraidh Sgith dhan bhlàr, sgith dhan chogadh An t-eallach 's an cràdh Air gualainn eachdraidh
Ref: Saighdear mi 'sa Fhraing 's 'sa Ghearmailt Saighdear mi air raointean Chanada Saighdear mi 'san Spàinn 'san Eadailt Saighdear mi 'nam aghaidh fhèin an Èirinn
2. Blàr nan Gàidheal, an Gàidheal 's an cogadh An fhuil 's am bàs Air bràighean eachdraidh Fuaim a' bhlàir, ceòl a' chogaidh An guth 's an nàire Air cluasan eachdraidh
1. The noise of battle, the music of war The voice and the disgrace In the ears of history Tired of the battle, tired of the war The burden and the pain On the shoulders of history
Ref: I have soldiered in France and Germany I have soldiered on the plains of Canada I have soldiered in Spain and Italy I have soldiered against my fellow Gael in Ireland
2. The battle of the Gael, the Gael and the war The blood and the death On the braes of history The noise of battle, the music of war The voice and the disgrace In the ears of history
