-{{Vs|1}} Hail to the Chief who in triumph advances!
-Honoured and blessed be the evergreen Pine!
-Long may the tree, in his banner that glances,
-Flourish, the shelter and grace of our line!
-Heaven send it happy dew,
-Earth lend it sap anew,
-Gaily to bourgeon and broadly to grow,
-While every Highland glen
-Sends our shout back agen,
-'Roderich Vich Alpine dhu, ho! ieroe!'
-{{Vs|2}} Ours is no sapling, chance-sown by the fountain,
-Blooming at Beltane, in winter to fade;
-When the whirlwind has stripped every leaf on the mountain,
-The more shall Clan-Alpine exult in her shade.
-Moored in the rifted rock,
-Proof to the tempest's shock,
-Firmer he roots him the ruder it blow;
-Menteith and Breadalbane, then,
-Echo his praise again,
-'Roderich Vich Alpine dhu, ho! ieroe!'
-{{Vs|4}} Row, vassals, row, for the pride of the Highlands!
-Stretch to your oars for the evergreen Pine!
-O, that the rosebud that graces yon islands
-Were wreathed in a garland around him to twine!
-O! that some seedling gem,
-Worthy such noble stem,
-Honoured and blessed in their shadow might grow!
-Loud should Clan Alpine then
-Ring from her deepmost glen,
-'Roderich Vich Alpine dhu, ho! ieroe!'}}
