Is Mis’ An Rathad Mòr

‘I Am The Highway’ - Chris Cornell, Audioslave
Neamhnaidean ’s mucan cuidhteas mi.
Fad is cianail mo thriall air bhith.
Bha mi caillt’ anns na bailtean, leam fhìn anns na cnuic.
Gun truas gam fàgail, caoidh idir nam chridh’.
Chan e mis’ do rothan luatha – is mis’ an rathad mòr.
Chan e mis’ do bhrat air sgiath – is mis’ an speur.
Càirdean ’s breugairean, na bi feitheamh riums’.
Nì mi a’ chùis nam shlighe fhìn.
Chuir mi milleanan de mhìltean mar-thà fo mo shàil,
Ach fada ro fhaisg riut tha mi faireachdainn fhathast.
Chan e mis’ do rothan luatha – is mis’ an rathad mòr.
Chan e mis’ do bhrat air sgiath – is mis’ an speur.
Chan e mis’ do ghaoth a shèideas – is mis’ an dealan.
Chan e mis’ do ghealach fhoghair – is mis’ an oidhch’.
