GF073i01 A MHÀIRI DHUBH, A HÙ A HO
Beulaiche: Dan A. MacPherson
Sin mu h-oidhche fhliuch is fhuar,
Bha mi leat a' siùbhal cuain,
Le clach-mheallain 's gaoth bho'n tuath,
A [fuilmean?] na rionnagan.
[Séist:] A Mhàiri dhubh, a hù a hò.
Nuair thig na caileagan mun bhòrd,
Cupa tì aca 'nan dòrn,
Teannaidh 'ad ri bruidhinn oirnn,
"Gur gòrach sibhs' 's gur amaideach."
'S gur e tusa bha gun dòigh,
Dol a cheannach na rings òir,
Faodadh tu an cuir 'na do phòc',
Bidh Màiri òg aig fear-eigin.
