Camhanaich	Dawn
Bu tu camhanaich air a' Chuilithionn 's latha suilbhir air a' Chlàraich grian air a h-uillinn anns an òr-shruth agus ròs geal bristeadh fàire.	You were dawn on the Cuillin and benign day on the Clarach the sun on his elbow in the golden stream and the white rose that breaks the horizon
Lainnir sheòl air linne ghrianaich, gorm a' chuain is iarmailt àr-bhuidh, am òg-mhaduinn 'na do chuailean 's 'na do ghruaidhean soilleir àlainn.	Glitter of sails on a sunlit firth, blue of the ocean and aureate sky, the young morning in your head of hair and in your clear lovely cheeks.
Mo leug camhainaich is oidhche t' aodann is do choibhneas gràdhach ged tha bior glas an dòlais troimh chliabh m' òg-mhaidne sàthte.	My jewel of dawn and night your face and dear kindness, though the grey barb of misfortune is thrust through the breast of my young morning.
Sorley Maclean	Somhairle Macgill-eain
