Title A smùid a ghabh mise aig am na bliadhn' ùire |
A smùid a ghabh mise aig am na Bliadhn' Uire Shiubhail i fad agus farsaing na dùthcha Chual' iad a Stafainn e, 's thubhairt iad le diomh dhomh Nas miosa na bhrùid tha'm fear bhios ag òl Ho ro 'illean, nach bitheadhmaid sunndach Olaibh sinn dileag a rithist as ùr dhith Fàgaidh i cridheal sinn 's bithidh sinn sunndach Cuiridh i cùraman eile fo sgleò. Nuair thig mi dhachaidh bidh bhean 's i fo ghruaim rium Gheibh mi mo theisteas gu dleasanta bhuaipe Ciamar a bhurraidh a chumas tu suas mi Cosg do chuid duais ann an taighean an òil 'S tric a their mi gu sguirinn gu brath dhith Nach òlainn deur tuilleadh, nach fuilinginn an t-fhàileadh 'S a dh'aindeoin mo mhionnain chan urrainn dhomh fàgail Tha i ga m' thàladh mar gum biodh 'n ceò. |
