Lyrics: English Translation: O, 's ann tha na diùlnaich thall Oh what heroes there are Air an taobh ud dhen a' Bheinn On that side of a' Bheinn Fhuair iad fearann ann gun taing No thanks to the wicked one who deceived them Bhon an h-aingidh rinn am mealladh They got land there O, 's ann tha na diùlnaich thall Oh what heroes there are Fhad 's a bhios an linn seo beò While this generation is alive Bidh cuimhn' air cainnteanas Lloyd George Lloyd George's speech will be remembered Gheall e fearann do na seòid He promised land to the heroes Ach na thill beò dhiubh, 's mòr an gearain But those who returned alive have much to complain about O, 's ann tha na diùlnaich thall Oh what heroes there are Nuair a thuig na gillean còir When the good lads realized Gu robh an Government fo sgleò That the government was suspect 'S nach robh cainnteanas Lloyd George And that Lloyd George's words Ach mar cheò a' falbh à sealladh Were like mist disappearing out of sight O, 's ann tha na diùlnaich thall Oh what heroes there are Chruinnich iad is fhuair iad pìob They gathered together and found a set of bagpipes 'S am port a chluich iad Morair Sìm The tune they played was Morair Sim 'S cha robh fear a bha san sgìr' And there wasn't a man in the district Nach robh cruinn aig roinn an fhearainn Who wasn't present at the division of the land O, 's ann tha na diùlnaich thall Oh what heroes there are Thàinig Raghnall le mòr-uaill Arrogantly Raghnall, armed with a gun Le each 's le ghunna dol mun cuairt Appeared on horseback 'S gann a bhruidhneadh e le gruaim So sullen was he, he could hardly speak Thug e 'n dualchas ud bho sheanair A trait inherited from his grandfather O, 's ann tha na diùlnaich thall Oh what heroes there are An Dotair Moireach, suas a chliù Salute Dr. Murray Faic mar thagair e sa chùis Who prosecuted the matter Thug e mach iad às an tùr Despite everything Gu an saors' a dheòin 's a dh'aindeoin He managed to get them released from jail O, 's ann tha na diùlnaich thall Oh what heroes there are Sguiridh mise nis dhem dhàn I'll now stop my song 'S e mo dhùrachd sibh bhith slàn My earnest hope is that you will all be well Le bhur sabhail mhòra làn With your great barns full Leis a' ghràn gu àird nan sparran To the rafters with grain O, 's ann tha na diùlnaich thall Oh what heroes there are Air an taobh ud dhen a' Bheinn On that side of a' Bheinn Fhuair iad fearann ann gun taing No thanks to the wicked one who deceived them Bhon an h-aingidh rinn am mealladh They got land there O, 's ann tha na diùlnaich thall Oh what heroes there are
