Thread Name: Lyr Req: Oidhche Mhaith Leibh (Scottish blessing)
Subject: Scottish blessing song
Hi all; I have a couple of the verses in Gaelic to this but would like to find the rest if anyone has them. Much appreciated!!!

Peg

Soraidh leibh is oidhche mhaith leibh
Oidhche mhaith leibh, beannachd leibh
Guidheam slainte ghnath bhi mar ribh.
Oidhche mhath leibh, beannachd leibh.

Translation

(Farewell and good-night to you; Good-night to you, blessings be with you. We wish good health to all of you Good-night to you, blessings be with you.)

Cha'n 'eil inneal ciuil a ghleusar
DhuiSgeas smuain mo chieibh gu aoibh,
Mar ni duan o bhebil nan caileag.
Oidhche mhaith leibh, beannachd leibh.

Thuit ar crann air saoghal carach
'S coma sud, tha mhaitheas leinn;
Bidh sinn beo an dochas ra-mhath:
Oldhche mhaith leibh, beannachd leibh
