Testi musica canzoni

Another traditional Scottish song, this one not very well known.
It's public domain though. These lyrics came from the copy I have
of the song on the Sidewaulk album by Capercaillie

Hope all you Gaelic learners out there will benefit from the bilingual
lyrics!. Oh, and apologies to anyone from Manitoba :-)

Oh mo dhu haich - Oh my country (trad.)

An emigrant song in praise of Uist. The beautiful words were written by
Allan McPhee who lived at Loch Carnan, South Uist.

O mo dhu haich 'stu th'air m'aire


Uibhist chumhraidh u
nan gallan,


Far a faighte na daoin' uaisle,


Far 'm bu dual do Mhac 'ic Ailein.




Ti
a'mhurain, ti
an eorna


Ti
's am pailt a h-uile seo
sa


Far am bi na gillean oga


Gabhail o
an 's 'g ol an lionna




Thig iad ugainn, carach, seolta


Gus ar mealladh far ar n-eolais;


Molaidh iad dhuinn Manitoa,


Du haich fhuar gun ghual, gun mhoine.




Cha leig mi leas a bhith 'ga innse,
