GHAIDHEALACH.
Mo nigh'n bhòidheach nan rosg bàu,
Nan gorm-shuilean troma, tlàth,
Gruaidh mar chaorann dearg a' fàs,
'S gu 'm bu' slàn a chi mi thu.
Mo nigh'n, etc.
'S e 'mheudaich m'airtneulachd 's mo ghruai
Thu 'bhi seòladh thar a' chuain,
'S ioma tè d'an d'thug mi fuath,
Thug i fuath 's cha till i rium.
Mo nigh'n, etc.
Na'm bu leam de dh-fhearann saor,
Na tha thall 's a bhos an caol,
'S mi gu'n liubhradli iad do m' gliaol,
Ach cead do thaobh 'bhi sinnte rium.
Mo nigh'n, etc.
Clia'n ioghnadh thu bhi beachdail, àrd,
Mòr thoil-inntinneach thar chàich,
'N uair thug MacCoinnich dhuit a lamh —
Cha bhi mi slàn mur innsear e.
Mo nigh'n, etc.
'N uair rachadh au fhidheal 'n a gleus,_
Dhannsadli tu air ùrlar rèidh,
Calpa cruinu is lùghor ceum,
'S mo chridh' am dhèigh'n mur inusinn e I
Mo nigh'n, etc.
Tha thu ro mhath anns gach àm,
Air gach obair ghrinn a th' anu ;
'S ioma fear a th' ort an geall,
Nach cuir bann gu siorruidh ort.
Mo nigh'n, etc.
