(CHORUS) Hurin i na horin 0;
Huvo i na horin ova.
Thug- mi coinnemh dha. sa choil.
Tha dhriuchd fein air bhar gach meangain
Tha gach gleannan a dol an guirmead
Tha ’n ceo ag iadhadh mu na bealaich
S tha mo leannan a tighinn a shuireadh.
Shaoil learn nach bu luaidhaidh ’n sgeuladh.
Tre do bheul na tre do ghlun.
Huvo, etc.
'S iomadh cluichidh mireadh is aighear.
San robh sinn tairis measg ghleann is chluainean.
Noir cheangail gaol sinn an laith air h-oige.
Mar dha ros air aon mheangaln suairce.
Huvo, etc.
S trie a thuit ann an doire diamhair
Anearbag mheaghail le saighead fuadain
Ach co a sheaoileadh gu’n tuiteadh leannain
Le foil na peathaer a roinn mo cluasag?
Huvo, etc.

* This beautiful melody belongs to the class called “Ceol-sith,” or Fairy music. Mrs McDonell Keppoch plays this, as well as most Highland airs, most
beautifully.—K. 1S
