Na Seoid version

Nuair chaidh mi sios dhan an abhainn an dé, 'g ùrnaigh 's a' foghlam facal Dhé,
Is có a dhleasas crùn nan seud, Mhic Dhé, stiùir mi nad cheum.

O bhràithrean, rachamaid sios, rachamaid sios, thugnamaid sios;
O bhràithrean, rachamaid sios, dh'ùrnaigh san abhainn le cheil'.

Nuair chaidh mi sios dhan an abhainn an dé, 'g ùrnaigh 's a' foghlam facal Dhé,
'S có gheibh an trusgan 's crùn nan seud, Mhic Dhé, stiùir mi nad cheum.

O pheathraichean, rachamaid sios, rachamaid sios, thugnamaid sios;
O pheathraichean, rachamaid sios, dh'ùrnaigh san abhainn le cheil'.

Nuair chaidh mi sios dhan an abhainn an dé, 'g ùrnaigh 's a' foghlam facal Dhé,
Is có a dhleasas crùn nan seud, Mhic Dhé, stiùir mi nad cheum.

O, athraichean, rachamaid sios, rachamaid sios, thugnamaid sios;
O, athraichean, rachamaid sios, dh'ùrnaigh san abhainn le cheil'.

Nuair chaidh mi sios dhan an abhainn an dé, 'g ùrnaigh 's a' foghlam facal Dhé,
Is có gheibh an trusgan 's crùn nan seud, Mhic Dhé, stiùir mi nad cheum.

Mhàthraichean, rachamaid sios, thugnamaid sios, nach tig sibh sios;
Mhàthraichean, rachamaid sios, dh'ùrnaigh san abhainn le cheil'.

Nuair chaidh mi sios dhan an abhainn an dé, 'g ùrnaigh 's a' foghlam facal Dhé,
Is có a dhleasas crùn nan seud, Mhic Dhé, stiùir mi nad cheum.
