Gleann Gallaidh	Glen Gallaidh
Luinneag: Gleann-a-Gallaidh, Gleann-a-Gallaidh, Gleann-a-Gallaidh nan craobh, Cò a chì e nanch mol e, Gleann-a-Gallaidh anan craobh.	Chorus: Glen Gallaidh, Glen Gallaidh, Glen Gallaidh of trees, Who can see and not praise it. Glen Gallaidh of trees,
Ri faicinn crìoch àrdain Ga mo bhreugadh gu taobh, 'S ann a smuainich mi fanadh An Gleann-a-Gallaidh nan craobh.	Seeing regions of hauteur Enticing me away I considered I'd stay there In Glen Gallaidh of trees.
Chan àill leam bhlur n-airgead 'S ri bhur n-arm cha bhi mì, Cha diùlt mi bhur drama Ach ri tuilleadh cha bhì.	I don't care for your silver, And you army's not for me, I'll take your dram when you give it But that's as far as I'll go.
Ged a gheibhinn gu m' àilgheas Seann-t-sàile MhicAoidh, 'S mòr a b' annsa leam fanadh An Gleann-a-Gallaidh nan craobh.	Though I got all I wanted Of Mackay's Kintail land I would much rather wait here In Glen Gallaidh of trees.
