[Rann 1] Fo sgàil dhorcha tha ar dùthaich truagh, Thar bhallachan Iarlshof chan eagal dhuinn tuilleadh. Ach anns an loch, tha lùths ’nar n-ionnsaigh, An Dragan Uaine ’na sciath air ar sluagh. [Rann 2] Èiridh e àrd os cionn Ceann Fhithphuill, Sgàileanan sgèimheil a’ deàrrsadh san oidhch’. A anail lìonmhor le beairteas air lèana, Sgrìobha sinn cridhe is anam dha gu bràth. [Seist] Air neart na h-Alba cluinn sinn a ghairm! An Dragan Uaine gar dìon o gach nàmhaid! Le lasair is lann, le lòchrain sgèith, Ar sciath ’s ar dàn ann an dorchadas cruaidh! [Rann 3] Tha pìoban a’ glaodhadh, tha druma a’ bualadh, Cuiridh sinn Sasannaich fo sgàineadh is sgàine. E fhèin ar sciath de uaine bheò, Am beathach bu treuna a thàinig riamh rōimh. [Rann 4] Ri tràigh Ninian, lùbaidh sinn glùinean, Ar Rìgh nan seann làithean, ar caraid cinnteach. Ar dòchas, ar neart, ar n-ùghdarras àrd, Dìon sinn a-nis anns an uair dhorcha gharbh! [Seist] Air neart na h-Alba cluinn sinn a ghairm! An Dragan Uaine gar dìon o gach nàmhaid! Le lasair is lann, le lòchrain sgèith, Ar sciath ’s ar dàn ann an dorchadas cruaidh! --- Translation into modern English (non poetic) [Verse 1] Under dark shadow lies our poor land. Across the walls of Jarlshof, we fear no more. But in the loch, a power rises toward us. The Green Dragon is a shield over our people. [Verse 2] He rises high above Fitful Head. Beautiful shimmering scales in the night. His breath brings abundance to every meadow. We give him heart and soul forever. [Chorus] By the strength of Alba, we hear his call! The Green Dragon protects us from every foe! With flame and blade, with the torch of his wings, He is our shield and our fate in the harsh darkness! [Verse 3] The pipes cry out, the drums are beating. We shall break the English enemy. He himself is our living green shield, The mightiest beast that ever came before. [Verse 4] At Ninian’s shore, we bend our knees. Our king of old days, our loyal friend. Our hope, our strength, our ancient authority— Defend us now in this dark and violent hour! [Chorus] By the strength of Alba, we hear his call! The Green Dragon protects us from every foe! With flame and blade, with the torch of his wings, He is our shield and our destiny in the harsh dark!
