O Horo, Mo Chailin Donn air a sgrìobhadh le: Seàirdeant Dòmhnall MacNeacail O horo, mo chailin donn 'S ann ort fhèin a thogainn fonn, Thug mi gaòl dhuit, 's tha gu trom Ach feumaidh sin bhith falaichte. Tè mar uallach thu air sràid, Cò an tè a bheir ort bàrr? Do chuailean donn 's do shùilean blàth Is mì fo chràdh mar faigh mi thu. Theid mi fhìn 's mo chailin donn A null ri seòlach fada thall; Ni sinn deònach còmhnaidh ann Am measg nan gleann 's na machraichean. Soraidh slàn do 'n chailin donn A chuir m' inntinn-se gu fonn; Thug i 'n còmhnaidh còmhradh rium, Ach thug mo shùnnd air flaithalachd. https://www.bbc.co.uk/alba/oran/orain/o_horo_mo_chailin_donn/ |
