GF067i05 CHA DÈAN MI 'N OBAIR

Beulaiche: Ailean an Ridge , Ailean 'ic Alasdair 'ic Aonghais 'ic Alasdair Bhàin | Allan MacDonald
Bàrd: Iseabail ni'n Alasdair Eòghainn Aonghais | Mrs. Isabelle MacIsaac

Cha dèan mi 'n obair, cha dèan mi 'n obair,
Chan urrainn mi 'n obair a dhèanamh.
Chan ith mi biadh, chan òl mi deoch,
Tha gaol an deaghaidh mo lìonadh.
