Buainidh
mi am mothan,

Luibh nan naodh alt,

Buainidh agus boinichidh,

Do Bhride bhorr 's dh' a Dalt.

Buainidh mi am mothan,

A dh' orduich Righ nam feart,

Buainidh agus boinichidh,

Do Mhoire mhor 's dh' a Mac.

Buainidh mi am mothan,

A dh' orduich Righ nan dul,

Bheir buaidh air gach foirneart,

Is ob air obi shul.

Pluck
will I the 'mothan,'

Plant of the nine joints,

Pluck will I and vow me,

To noble Bride and her Fosterling.

Pluck will I the 'mothan,'

As ordained of the King of power,

Pluck will I and vow me,

To great Mary and her Son.

Pluck will I the 'mothan,'

As ordained of the King of life,

To overcome all oppression,

And the spell of evil eye.
