14 Aug 98 - 08:46 PM (#34883) Subject: Lyr Add: MacCRIMMON'S LAMENT / CUMHA MHIC CRIOMAIN From: Murray on Saltspring The following text is from "The Gaelic Choir" [Gaelic title "A' Choisir-chiuil",] Published at Paisley c. 1920 maybe. MacCRIMMON’S LAMENT -- CUMHA MHIC CRIOMAIN 1. Dh’ iadh ceo nan stuc mu eudann Chuilinn, Us sheinn ’bhean-shith a torman mulaid, Gorm shuilean ciuin ’san Dun a sileadh, O’n thriall thu uainn ’s nach till thu tuille. CHORUS: Cha till, cha till, cha till Mac Criomain, An cogadh no sith cha till e tuille; Le airgiod no ni cha till Mac Criomain, Cha till e gu brath gu la na cruinne. 2. Tha osag nam beann gu fann ag imeachd, Gach sruthan ’s gach allt gu mall le bruthach; Tha ealtainn nan speur feadh gheugan dubhach, A’ caoidh gu ’n d’ fhalbh ’s nach till thu tuille. CHORUS 3. Tha ’n fhairge fa-dheoigh lan broin ’us mulaid, Tha ’m bata fo sheol, ach dhiult i siubhal; Tha gairich nan tonn le fuaim neo-shubhach, Ag radh gun d’ fhalbh ’s nach till thu tuille. CHORUS 4. Cha chluinnear do cheol ’san Dun mu fheasgar, ’S mac-talla nam mur le muirn ’ga fhreagairt; Gach fleasgach ’us oigh gun cheol, gun bheadradh, O’n thriall thu uainn ’s nach till thu tuille. CHORUS |
