MEASGAIN
MANADH NAN EALA [205]
HUALA mi guth binn nan eala,
Ann an dealachadh nan tratli,
Glugalaich air sgiathaibh siubhlach.
Cur nan cura dhiubh gu li-ard.
Glirad sheas mi, cha d' rinn mi gluasad,
Suil dli'an tug mi bhuam co bha
Deanamh iuil air an toiseach ?
Righinn an t-sonais an eala bhan.
Bha seo air feasgar Di-aona,
Bha mo smaontan air Di-mart —
Chain mi mo chuid 's mo dhaona
Bliadhn o'n Aona sin gu brath.
Ma chi thu eala air Di-aona,
Moch 's a mhaduinn fhaoilidh, agh,
Bidii cinneas air do chuid 's do dhaona,
Do bhuar cha chaochail a ghnath. [chlaonaich gu brath.
