Oich U Agus h-Iùraibh Eile (Love Song)
This love song remains extremely popular in Inverness
County and in Mabou in particular. The young poet praises his sweetheart
for her beauty, her style, and her linguistic accomplishments.
Séist (Chorus):
Oich ù agus h-iùraibh éile,
(Oich ù 'us h-iùraibh éile, What the Rankins Actually Sing)
Oich ù agus h-iùraibh éile,
(Oich ù 'us h-iùraibh éile, What the Rankins actually sing)
H-iùraibh ò, agus hòro éile,
'S mo chruinneag dhonn, gur a trom ad dheigh mi
Rannan (Verses):
C'àite bheil i ann an Albann
Cruinneag bhòidheach is gille calpa
Slios mar fhaoilinn air aodan fairge,
'S gur h-e do throm-ghaol a rinn mo mharbhadh
'N uair a théid mi chun na féille
Bidh mo shùil air a 'chruinneig ghlé-ghil,
Is binne Gàidhlig's as deise Beurla,
'S bidh sàiltean àrd air a brògan eutrom,
Tha do shùilean mar na sheuran,
No mar dhearcagan donn an t-sléibhe
Dubh a's donn ann am measg a chéile,
'S gu bheil ceann dubh air mo chruinneaig ghlé-ghil
