Lyrics:

🎶 Verse 1
Oh, they come from every corner
and from over the water
To the dear green place by the river
To become the sons and daughters
Of our home, Glasgow

🎶 Chorus
And we’ll all sing together
With our fellows, friends and family
Who belong here in our city
It’s our home, Glasgow

🎶 Verse 2
There’s the tree that never grew
There’s the bird that never flew
You’ll have heard of fish not swimming
And of bells that should be ringing
In our home, Glasgow

🎶 Chorus
And we’ll all sing together
With our fellows, friends and family
Who belong here in our city
It’s our home, Glasgow

🎶 Verse 3 & Chorus (in Gaelic)
Is sinne Gàidheil Ghlaschu, Gàidheil òg’ an là an-diugh:
’s ge bith cò às bha ’r sinnsirean is prìseil leinn a’ Ghàidhlig.
Seo am baile as dòcha leinn, am baile mòr as fheàrr leinn –
baile càirdeil is gasta, àite fasgaidh dhan a’ Ghàidhlig,
Ar dachaidh, Baile Mòr nan Gàidheal

🎶 Verse 4 (in Scots)
So come oot fir a natter
Or jist tae catch the patter
We’re as wide as the Clyde
Tak a boat trip doon the watter
It’s ma hame, Glesga toon

🎶 Final Chorus
And we’ll all sing together
With our fellows, friends and family
Who belong here in our city
It’s our home, Glasgow
