Beulaiche: Ruairidh Beag mac Aonghais Eóghainn Iain | Roddy MacInnis
Séisd: O cha mhisd' leam, e cha mhisd' leam,
O cha mhisde leam mar tha thu;
'S misde leam gun d' thug 'ad bhuam i,
Chan fhaic mi 'dol suas gu bràth i.
Mìle beannachd aig a Chrìosdaidh,
A rinn riaghail anns a' Bhràighidh;
Cha chluinnear [?]' no sgreuch,
Anns na briathran mar a b' àbhaist.
Ach ma dh'éireas tràth Iain Boideach,
Bidh e na chuimhne gu bràcha;
Chan fhaigh e cadal na h-oidhche,
Gus an cluinn e mar a bha e.
You got it now?
