Chaneil mo shul air Calbharaigh My eye is not on Calvary 
No air Bethlehem an aigh Or on blessed Bethlehem 
Ach air cuil ghrod an Glaschu But on a putrid back alley 
in Glasgow 
Far a bheil an lobhadh fas Where everything rots as it 
grows 
Agus air seomar an Duneidin And on a room in Edinburgh 
Seomar bochdain is craidh A room of poverty and suffering 
scabs and sores 
Ri aonagraich gu bhas Wallows 'til death 
(2x) (2x)
