Original text and translations

English text

There’s many a man of the Cameron clan
That has followed his chief to the field;
He has sworn to support him, or die by his side,
For a Cameron never can yield.

I hear the pibroch sounding, sounding
Deep o’er the mountain and glen;
While light springing footsteps
Are trampling the heath
’Tis the march of the Cameron men;
’Tis the march, ’tis the march,
’Tis the march of the Cameron men.

Oh! proudly they walk, but each Cameron knows,
He may tread on the heather no more;
But boldly he follows his chief to the field;
Where his laurels were gathered before.

The moon has arisen, it shines on the path
Now trod by the gallant and true;
High, high are their hopes, for their chieftain has said
That whatever men dare, they can do.
