| 'S i t�r mo r�in-s� a� Gh�idhealtachd A cheery wee number, painting an idyllic picture of life on Bernera. |
AIR FA LEILL ORO HU 'S I TIR MO RUIN-S' A' GHAIDHEALTACHD The Gaidhealtachd is the land I love AIR FA LEILL ORO HU Far an �ireadh moch a' ghrian; where the sun rises early - Gum b' e mo mhiann bhith t�mhachd ann. it would be my wish to live there; Far an seinneadh moch na h-e�in; where the birds sing in early morning� Gur br�nach mi bhon dh'fh�g mi i. sad am I since I left� Far am bi an crodh 's na laoigh where the cows and calves Air feadh nan gleann air �irighean. are on the shielings in the glens. Bidh a' bhanarach dol fodhpa, The milkmaid goes under them, 'S peile m�r 's gach l�imh aice. a large pail in each hand. Gheibh thu pailteas dheth ri �l, You will get plenty to drink 'S cha ph�igh thu gr�t no f�irdean air. and will not pay a groat or a farthing for it. Bidh na boireannaich a' sn�omh, The women spin Chlann-nighean 's ceud a' c�rdadh ac'. and a hundred girls card the wool for them. Fear a' cur is fear a' buain One man sows, another reaps, Is fear air chuan sa' bh�t' aige. another is at sea in his boat. Gheibh thu bradan 's gheibh thu fiadh You will get salmon there, venison Is gheibh thu iasg gu d' �ilgheas ann. and fish�as much as you want. Gheibh thu aran coirc is e�rna You will get oat and barley bread� 'S �g a rinneadh m' �rach air. I was reared on it when young. 'S tu nach faireadh fad na h-oidhch' You would have sleepless nights Air feadh nan gleann am Be�rnaraigh. in the glens of Bernera. Bhiodh na caileagan a' luadh The girls would be waulking, 'S bu taitneach fuaim an g�ire leam. delightful to me was the sound of their laughter. Theid mi ann aig �m na faille I will go at Fair time 'S ch� mi fh�in na b' �ill leam ann. and see all that I love there. |
