DO NIGHEAN FEAR THIR-NA-DRISE.
Lt Mac Fear Dhailan-eas.
Tha mis' an so 'm laidhe
*N leabaidh chumhaimi, chaoil, chlàraidh —
Tha mo cheann air a honadh
Le fiabhras mi-nàdur';
Cha'n f huachd, a's cha teas e —
Cha 'n 'eil fios ciod is cràdh dhomh ;
'S ann tha toiseach mo ghalair
Mum' sgamhan 'smu'm àirnean.
Thoìr mo shoraidh-sa thairis
Gum' leannau 'sa' Bhjaighe —
'S 'n uair a chluinneas i 'n aithris
Cha mhaith leath' mar tha mi ;
Mi gun siigradh, gun aiteas,
'S gur h-e chleaclid mi bhi 'g àbhachd ;
'S e bhi cumha do phòige
A leòn a chum bàis mi.
Ged bu shochdair mo leaba
Cha do chaideil mi 'n raoir,
'S nach d' f huaras thu agam
Ann an taice ri m' thaobh ;
'N àm dhonìh dùsgadh 's a' mhaduinn
Bha thu fada o m' ghlaodh —
'S mòr a b'fheairde mi agam
Aon aiteal do m' ghaol.
C Iia 'n e ro mheud do nithe
Tha mise ag iargain,
Ach mi 'm kiidhe 'n so 'm aonar
Ri smaointinean diomhain ;
Gheibhinn bean anns an tir so
'G am bheil nì, do shìol Dhiannaid,
'S leis na Lhug mi do ghràdh dhuit
Gu 'm bi dail aic' am bhadhna.
