 1.
 O Flower of Scotland,
 When will we see
 Your like again,
 That fought and died for,
 Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
 And stood against him,
 Proud Edward's Army,
 And sent him homeward,
 Tae think again.

 2.
 The Hills are bare now,
 And Autumn leaves
 Lie thick and still,
 O'er land that is lost now,
 Which those so dearly held,
 That stood against him,
 Proud Edward's Army,
 And sent him homeward,
 Tae think again.

 3.
 Those days are past now,
 And in the past
 They must remain,
 But we can still rise now,
 And be the nation again,
 That stood against him,
 Proud Edward's Army,
 And sent him homeward,
 Tae think again.

 O Flower of Scotland,

 Your like again,
 That fought and died for,
 Your wee bit Hill and Glen,
 And stood against him,
 Proud Edward's Army,
 And sent him homeward,
 Tae think again. Gælisk tekst

 O Fhlùir na h-Alba,
 cuin a chì sinn
 an seòrsa laoich
 a sheas gu bàs 'son
 am bileag feòir is fraoich,
 a sheas an aghaidh
 feachd uailleil Iomhair
 's a ruaig e dhachaidh
 air chaochladh smaoin?

 2.
 Na cnuic tha lomnochd
 's tha duilleach Foghair
 mar bhrat air làr,
 am fearann caillte
 dan tug na seòid ud gràdh,
 a sheas an aghaidh
 feachd uailleil Iomhair
 's a ruaig e dhachaigh
 air chaochladh smaoin.

 3.
 Tha 'n eachdraidh dùinte
 ach air dìochuimhne
 chan fheum i bhith,
 is faodaidh sinn èirigh
 gu bhith nar Rìoghachd a-rìs
 a sheas an aghaidh
 feachd uailleil Iomhair
 's a ruaig e dhachaidh
 air chaochladh smaoin.

 O Flouer o Scotland,
 Whan will we see
 Your like again,
 That focht and dee'd for,
 Your wee bit Hill an Glen,
 An stuid agin him,
 Prood Edward's Airmy,
 An sent him hamewart,
 Tae think again.

 The Hills is bare nou,
 An Autumn leafs
 Lies thick an still,
 Ower land that is lost nou,
 That thae sae dearly held,
 That stuid agin him,
 Prood Edward's Airmy,
 An sent him hamewart,
 Tae think again.

 Thir days is past nou,
 An in the past
 They maun remain,
 But we can aye rise nou,
 An be the nation again,
 That stuid agin him,
 Prood Edward's Airmy,
 An sent him hamewart,
 Tae think again.
