OBAIN
Latha dhomh 's mi falbh nam fuarbheann,
Thachair a' ghruagach bhòidheach orm.
Mo roghainn, etc.
Thug mi i gu cnochdain grianach*
'S dh' iarr mi 'n iasad pòig oirre.
Mo roghainn, etc.
Chrom i ceann 's gu 'n d' ghabh i àrdan,
Tàmailte gu leòir oirre.
Mo roghainn, etc.
Labhair i 's i gabhail rium mi-thlachd,
" 'N ann a chur sios li m' bheò orni?
Mo roghainn, etc
" Ged thigeadh fear-fearainn, cha trèiginn mo leannan.
Na 'n tugadh e geallaidhean pòsaidh dliomh.
Mo roghainn, etc.
" Ged thigeadh a triìiir, cha ghabhainn h-aon diùbh,
'S do litir, a rìiin, am phòc' agam.
Mo roghainn, etc.
" Thug mise mo luaidh do dh' fhear a' chuil-ruaiilli,
'N uair chunna mi suas a' mhòintich e.
Mo roghainn. etc.
" Thug mìse mo ghràdh do dh-fhear a' chuil-l)hàin,
Bidh locar a's tàl, a's òrd aige.
Mo roghainn, etc.
" Ach ma 's fear thu tha air mo thì-sa,
Ruig an tìr an còir dhomh bhi.
Mo roghainn, etc.
" Faigh toil m' athar a's mo mhàthar,
Cead mo chàirdean, 's còrdaidh sinn."
Mo loghainn, etc.
