Lyrics
Mo mhallachd aig na caoraich mhòr
Càit a bheil clann nan daoine còir
Dhealaich rium nuair bha mi òg
Mus robh Dùthaich 'IcAoidh na fàsach?
Tha trì fichead bliadhna 's a trì
On dh’fhàg mi Dùthaich 'IcAoidh
Cait bheil gillean òg mo chrìdh'
'S na nìonagan cho bòidheach?
Shellar, tha thu nist nad uaigh
Gaoir nam bantrach na do chluais
Am milleadh rinn thu air an t-sluagh
Ron uiridh 'n d' fhuair thu d' leòr dheth?
Chiad Dhiùc Chataibh, led chuid foill
'S led chuid càirdeis do na Goill
Gum b' ann an Iutharn' bha do thoill
Gum b' fheàrr Iùdas làmh rium
Bhan-Diùc Chataibh, bheil thu ad dhìth
Càit a bheil do ghùnan sìod?
An do chùm iad thu bhon oillt 's bhon strì
Tha an diugh am measg nan clàraibh?
Mo mhallachd aig na caoraich mhòr
Càit a bheil clann nan daoine còir
Dhealaich rium nuair bha mi òg
Mus robh Dùthaich 'IcAoidh na fàsach?
Lyrics translation
My mhallachd at the big sheep
Where children or people right
Came to me when I was young
Before there was a Country 'IcAoidh the growth?
There are three twenty years in three
From dh'left I Country 'IcAoidh
Cait is young lads my chrìdh'
In the nìonagan so cute?
Shellar, you are now or once were
Gaoir or baby talk in your ear
Proposal b is in the population
Before last year 'n of' he is of the isle of lewis off?
The first Duke of Sutherland, with both fraud
With both càirdeis for the Goill
To b', but Iutharn' was to be.
To better Iùdas hand to me
The Duke of Sutherland, are you missing
Where to ghùnan anything?
For hosted they are from oillt 'from the struggle
Is today among the clàraibh?
My mhallachd at the big sheep
Where children or people right
Came to me when I was young
Before there was a Country 'IcAoidh the growth?
