[Rann 1 — Verse 1]
Fo sgàil na cloiche, far an stad an gaoth,
Cruinnichidh sinn nar cèis is nar cridhe.
An Clach Uaine, le lùb nan linntean oirre,
A’ cumail ar mionn mar fhuil anns an talamh.

[Rann 2 — Verse 2]
Le làimh air a’ chlach, bidh ar cridhe fosgailte,
Guthan nan seann daoine a’ gluasad tro ar cnàmhan.
Chan eil sinn nar n-aonar fon speur fuar seo,
Oir an Dhragaín Uaine a’ sealltainn tro na h-uaighean.

[Cor — Chorus]
Seasaibh timcheall na cloiche, a chlanna nan creag,
Éistibh ris an t-sàmhchair làidir seo.
Anns gach sùil chì sinn solas na h-uaine,
Anns gach cridhe, an aon mionn nach bris gu bràth.

[Rann 3 — Verse 3]
Seo far an do labhair ar sinnsearan gun fhàillinn,
Far an tug iad am facal mar arm is mar sgiath.
Chan eil sgàil an nàimhdean a’ mairsinn fada an seo,
Oir tha an clach a’ gluasad anail an Dhragaín tro ar n-anam.

[Rann 4 — Verse 4]
Nuair a thig an oidhche, is tuiteam na reultan,
Chì sinn na seallaidhean anns an uachdar fuar.
Chan e bruadar bàn ach cuimhne dhìleas,
a’ ceangal ar cloinne ri freumhan nan linntean.

[Cor Deireannach — Final Chorus]
Seasaibh timcheall na cloiche, fo sholas na gealaich,
Le ar làmhan air a’ chlach, le ar n-anail mar aon.
An Dhragaín Uaine a’ cuairteachadh tro ar cridheachan,
’S an Clach na fhianais gum fuirich an clan beò.

The First Flame — Literal English Translation (informational use only)

[Verse 1]
Under the shadow of the stone, where the wind stops,
we gather in our chests and in our hearts.
The Green Stone, with the spiral of the ages on it,
holding our oath like blood in the earth.

[Verse 2]
With a hand on the stone, our heart is opened,
the voices of the old ones moving through our bones.
We are not alone under this cold sky,
for the Green Dragon is looking through the graves.

[Chorus]
Stand around the stone, children of the cliffs,
listen to this strong silence.
In every eye we see the light of the green,
in every heart, the one oath that will never break.

[Verse 3]
Here our ancestors spoke without failing,
here they gave their word as weapon and as shield.
The shadow of enemies does not last long here,
for the stone moves the Dragon’s breath through our souls.

[Verse 4]
When night comes and the stars fall,
we see the visions in the cold surface.
It is not an empty dream but a faithful memory,
binding our children to the roots of the ages.

[Final Chorus]
Stand around the stone under the light of the moon,
with our hands on the stone, with our breath as one.
The Green Dragon circling through our hearts,
and the Stone as witness that the clan will live.
