GF067i03 AN GILLE DUBH

Beulaiche: Iseabail ni'n Alasdair Eòghainn Aonghais | Mrs. Isabelle MacIsaac

An gille dubh.

An gille dubh, cho fad a-muigh
An gille dubh, mo laochan
An gille dubh, tha fad a-muigh
An gille dubh, cha toir.

Cha d' thugainn bainne ghobhair dhut
Na idir bainne chaoraich
Nuair thig thu math an airidh thu
Air bainne chruidh 's na laoigh.

Cha d' thugainn dhut an t-aran dubh
Mo nighean dubh, mo ghaol ort
Cha d' thugainn dhut a dh'aran dubh
Mo nighean dubh, 's a ghaoil.

Cha d' thugainn bainne ghobhair dhut
Cha d' thugainn bainne chaorach
'S nuair thig thu math an airidh thu
Air bainne chruidh 's na laoigh.

Isabelle MacIsaac
