Truaighe na h-eorpa	Europe's Piteous Plight
Tha mùir shanidhte na h-E òrpa shios 'nan tòrr air a raointean.	The finely hewn rampart of Europe Are down in a heap upon her plains
Tha an gràbhaladh àrsaidh Air a sgàineadh is gaorr air.	Their ancient carvings Are split and scattered.
Tha dlùthshreathan a tùirean 'nam mion-sprùidhlich air aomadh	The close-fitting courses of her towers are collapsed in small rubble.
Tha muinntir a tallachan sgapte air faontra.	The people of her halls are wanders dispersed.
Is luaineach làn airce, oidhch' is latha a daoine.	Without ever rest, full of need are the nights and days of her folk.
Chaid geurghuth an truaighe thar cruaidhghàir a gaothan.	The shrill voice of their pitiful complaining drowns the hard roaring of her winds.
Dh'fhalbh bharr na h-E òrpa train de 'bòidhchead séimh aosda.	Gone from Europe is a third of her tranquil, aged beauty.
Sean termunn na h-ealain, creidhe meachair na daondachd	The old sanctuary of the arts, The tender heart of humanity.
Och, Rudha na h-Aisia, Balcan an t-saoghail!	Alas, she is become a promontory of Asia, The Balkans of the world!
Deorsa Mac Iain Deorsa	George Campbell Hay
