about

this is one of the first gaelic songs I ever learned many years ago in a small singing group at the sydney gaelic society in cape breton.

this song is very popular for the north shore gaelic singers and you will hear a sample of them in this recording.

the fiddle tune is called "The Ragged Hank of Yarn" and it is a traditional irish reel.

lyrics

Cha bhi mi buan ’s tu bhi bhuam
Thug mi luaidh òg dhut
Cha bhi mi buan ’s tu bhi bhuam

Chì mi ’m bàta ’dol seachad
Muir a sgapadh mu bhòrdan

Mur an deachaidh mi mearachd
Bha mo leannan ga seòladh

Bha mo leannan ga stiùireadh
Oigfhear ùr a chùil bhòidheach

Oigfhear ùr a chùil bhuidhe
O’ b’aithne dhomh òg thu

’Se do bhòidichean fada
’S d’ghaoil, a Lachlainn, a leòn mi

Ach na faicinn thu tighinn
’S mi gu ruitheadh ’nad chòmhdhail

’S mi gu ruitheadh ’na do choinneamh
Air mo bhonnan gun bhrògan

Ged bhiodh reòthadh glè chruaidh ann
’S sneachda fuar air a’ mhòine
