Lyrics
Cha b’e sneachda 's an reothad o thuath
Cha b’e an crannadh geur fuar on ear
Cha b’e an t-uisge 's na gailloinn on iar
Ach an galar a bhlian on deas
Blàth, duilleach, stoc agus freumh
Caànan mo threubh os mo shluaidh
This thugainn, this co' ruim gu siar
Gus an cluinn sinn ann cànan nam Fèin
Nuair chithear fear féilidh 's a' ghleann
Bu chinnteach gur Gàighlig a chainnt
Nuair spion iad a fhreumh às an fhonn
An àite Gàidhlig tha cànan a' Ghoill
Is Ghaidhealtachd creadhal nan sonn
'S tir «mhajors» is «cholonels» 'n-diugh innt'
Thoir a-nuas dhuinn na coinnleirean oir
'S annta càraibh na coinnlean geal, cèir
Lasaibh suas iad an seomar a' bhroin
Thaigh aire seann chànan a' Ghàidheil
Se siud o chionn fhad' thuirt an nàmh
Ach fhathast tha deocànan a' Gàidheal
Ged a theich i le a beath 'às na glinn
Ged na cluinnear a nis muigh i san Dùn
O Dhuthaich Mhic Aoidh fada tuath
Gu ruig thu Druim Uachdair nam bo
'S iathadhh nan Eileanan Siar
Si fhathast ann ciad chainnt an t-sloigh
Lyrics translation
It was in the snow ', but reothairt from the north
It was in the gantry that violence cold from the east
It was in the water in the gailloinn from the west
In the hebrides the bhlian of of
Warm, duilleach, sapienization and root
Caànan my threubh of my shluaidh
This us, this co' reach to western
That we hear in language of the Self
When the one féilidh in the valley
You sure about that Gàighlig the idioms
When sp they fhreumh from in fhonn
In place of Gaelic is the language' Ghoill
And Highland centre or sonn
In come "mhajors" and "cholonels" 'n-today tool'
Give download us the coinnleirean because
In them càraibh the candles out, remote
Lasaibh up they seomar the spear the
House on the old language of the Gaels
In the west, most recently as said in nàmh
But still the deocànan the Highlands
Each fled and by the life from the glens
I hear now outside and in Close
O Dhuthaich Son of a guest for north america
To reach the Back Deck of bob
In iathadhh the western Isles
Six still in first idioms in t-sloigh
