Title Oran a Bhachelor |
Chaoidh, cha phos mi tha mi'n duil Gun cuir mi cul ri leannanachd Gun b'annsa leam an cat 's an cu 'S gur sunndach mi nam bhachelor. Nuair thig mi dhachaidh bhon a chrann 'S a bhitheas mi fann is acrach Bidh bhean 's gun sgeul oirr' anns an am 'S a chlann ag eibheach dadaidh rium Bidh 'n eala dhiubh 's bidh 'n eala bhàn Cur itean anns na h-adaichean Bidh'n calman is an coileach fraoich 'S an fhaoileag bhar nan cladaichean. |
Description Oran gaoil, love song, or rather a song about being without love | |
