We’ll still be true to speech we drew
Frae mither’s lips for a’ that.
The deep, full-breasted Highland tongue,
Wi’ gairm and glaodh and a’ that,
Ere Roman fought or Greeklings sung,
Was sounded loud for a’ that,
For a’ that, and a’ that,
Their classic lore and a’ that,
On Highland braes the Celtic phrase
Comes banging out for a’ that.
