40 MODERN GAELIC BARDS.
STEORNABHAGH MHOR A' CHAISTEIL.
Key D.
FONN : — Steornabhagh, 's e Steornabhagh
Am baile 's boidhche leam fo 'n ghrein
Steornabhagh, 's e Steornabhagh.
Steornabhagh mhor a' chaisteil.
Bail' is mòdha th'air an t-saogh'l,
Ach co-dhiu, ge beag no mor e,
'S ann d' a leoid is mor mo ghaol.
Bha thu riamh cho briagha, boidheach,
Ceart mar oighe laghach, ghrinn,
'S cuiridh mis' 'an ceil dhut oran
A bhios seolta blasd ri sheinn.
