[Rann I — Gairm nan Sìth]
Éisdibh, a chàirdean an fhàsaich,
éisdibh ri guth nan linn dorcha.
Fo sgàil nan seann-chreagan,
gairmidh sinn ainm an Dhragaín Uaine.

[Rann II — An Fuil]
Le fuil nan sinnsear air ar làmhan,
le luaithre nan gaisgeach air an talamh,
bidh ar cridheachan fosgailte,
mar a bhios an gaoth mu thimcheall nan lochan.

[Rann III — An Gealladh]
Tha sinn a’ mionnachadh an seo,
ri aghaidh nan nàmh’ is nan oidhche,
gu seasamh mar chloich,
agus gluasad mar sgàil na sìth.

[Rann IV — Ceangal nan Dràgon]
Oir tha an Dragan Uaine nar anail,
nar fala, nar n-òrain, nar n-aisling.
Troimhe sin ’s tro ar ceumannan,
bidh e gar cumail gus deireadh nan linn.

[Mionn Crìochnachaidh]
Mar sin, fo ghealach nan creagan,
fo fhuaim nan tonn agus nan druma,
mionnanaidh sinn le ar cridhe is ar fhuil:
gun trèig sinn an Dragan Uaine,
agus gun trèig e sinne gu bràth.

Translation into modern English (non poetic)

[Verse I — Call of the Spirits]
Listen, friends of the wilderness,
listen to the voice of the dark ages.
Under the shadow of the ancient cliffs,
we call the name of the Green Dragon.

[Verse II — The Blood]
With the blood of our ancestors on our hands,
with the ashes of warriors on the ground,
our hearts will be open,
as the wind is around the lochs.

[Verse III — The Vow]
We swear here,
before enemies and night alike,
to stand like stone,
and to move like the shadow of peace.

[Verse IV — The Dragon-Bond]
For the Green Dragon is in our breath,
in our blood, in our songs, in our dreams.
Through him and through our steps,
he will keep us until the end of ages.

[Final Oath]
Thus, under the moon of the cliffs,
under the sound of waves and drums,
we swear with our heart and blood:
that we will not abandon the Green Dragon,
and he will not abandon us, forever.
