A Largo chòir,

it seems it is down to dear auld Odair nan Ròn to provide you with the lyrics for 'S i Mòrag':


'S i Mòrag'

'S i Mòrag, 's i Mòrag, 's i Mòrag a rinn a' bhanais,
Mòrag, 's i Mòrag a rinn a' bhanais ainmeil. (Dà thuras / Twice)
-
Bha fear-an-taighe aig bean-an-taighe,
Sgalag aig an t-searbhanta,
Buachaille aig a' bhanaraich,
'S mo sheanair aig mo sheanmhair.
-
'S i Mòrag, etc.
-
Bha Seònaid is fidheall aice,
Raghnaid is pìob aice,
Mòr nan dos is feadan aice,
'S sheinneadh iad an ruidhle.
-
Bha thu dubh an-uiridh,
Agus tha thu dubh am bliadhna,
Is bha thu dubh a h-uile latha
Chunna mise riamh thu.

...and there's more o that where that came from: http://grd.cne-siar.gov.uk:591/search.htm

Another source for Gaelic lyrics, when needed: http://www.geocities.com/Area51/Zone/6338/gael_sng.html

The latter is Seòras Seto's page, from Cape Breton. Seòras is, I believe, a fellow mudcatter as well.

And if ye ever need the lyrics for a Gaelic seal song (or "silkie song", as broad Scots would have it), just ask Odair nan Ròn. 'Se do bheatha, 'ille ! Ye're welcome, ma lad.

Tìoraidh ma tha,

Odair
