Lyr Add: Chunna Mise Mo Leann

Gura mise tha fo mhulad air an tulaich, 's mòr m'eislean

Ho ro ho hi hoireannan, horo chall eile, ho ro ho hi hoireannan

Chunna mise mo leannan 's cha do dh'aithnich e fhèin mi.
Cha d'fhidir, 's cha d'fharraid, cha do ghabh e bhuam sgeula
Ach cha ruigeadh e leas e, cha robh mis' an trom dèidh air
Dol timchioll a' rubha, bha mi dubhach, trom-dheurach
'S iad mo rùn-sa Clann Dòmhnaill, sin an còmhlan nach treig mi
Sian Mhuire 's e'n Dòmhnaich, le Clann Dòmhnaill nan geur-lann
Luchd nan calpannan troma, cuil dona, ceum eutrom
Luchd tharraing nam biodag fo chriosan nan fhèilidh
Luchd nan claidheamhnan caol geala, chithte faileas dhiubh làth' grèine
Luchd nam boghannan iubhair, dh'fhuilingeadh lùbadh 's nach leumadh
'S nan gunnaichean dubha, chuireadh smùid air a' slèibhte

I am sad on the hillock, great is my sorrow
I saw my love but he did not even recognise me
He took no notice, did not ask, did not listen to my news
He need not have, I was not so fond of him
Going round the headland, I was depressed and weeping constantly
My beloved Clan Donald, they are the band I will not betray
**************** with Clan Donald of the sharpest blades
The men of the stout calves, brown-haired and light of step
The men who would draw their daggers from beneath the belts of their plaids
The men of the slender white swords, glinting in the summer's sunlight
The men of the yew longbows, that would bend without slipping its bowstring
And the black guns that would send smoke rising from the slopes

Any idea what ***** means?
