Here is an old favourite that was taught to school children. The language in 'my father's clock' is lovely if you know Gaelic, and the question the clock asks of the child 'an tuig, an tuig an tuig thu mi?' (do you understand me?) is a pun for tick, tick tick, the language of the clock. Tha uaireadar aig m'athair-sa 'S chan fhacas riamh na thàmh e Cha teid fois no fosadh air a sheachdain neo a Shàbaid 's nuair chuireas mi rim chluais e feuch dè a tha e ag ràideann 'S ann théir e rium gu sgiobalta an tuig an tuig an tuig thu mi an tuig an tuig an tuig thu mi an tuig thu nis mo chànan? 'ille bhig, an tuig thu mi? 's mi labhairt anns a' Ghàidhlig. An sin gu clis their mise ris Tha fios gu math gun tuiginn-s' thu Gun tuig, gun tuig, gun tuiginn-s' thu Tha fios gu math gun tuiginn-s' thu 'S tu labhairt anns a' Ghàidhlig. |
