Oich U Agus Hiuraibh Eile (love Song) Lyrics - Singles - Rankin Family

This love song remains extremely popular in Inverness County and 

in Mabou in particular. The young poet praises his sweetheart for 

her beauty, her style, and her linguistic accomplishments. 

Seisd (Chorus) 

Oich u agus h-iuraibh e/ile, 

Oich u agus h-iuraibh e/ile, 

H-iuraibh o, agus horo e/ile, 

'S mo chruinneag dhonn, 

gur a trom ad dheigh mi 

C'aite bheil i ann an Albann 

Cruinneag bhoidheach is gille calpa 

Slios mar fhaoilinn air aodan fairge, 

'S gur h-e do throm-ghaol a rinn mo 

mharbhadh 

Chorus 

'Nuair a the/id mi chun na fe/ille 

Bidh mo shuil air a 'chruinneig 

ghle/-ghil, 

Is binne Gaidhlig's as deise Beurla, 

'S bidh sailtean ard air a 

brogan eutrom, 

Chorus 

Tha do shuilean mar na sheuran, 

No mar dhearcagan donn an t-sle/ibhe 

Dubh a's donn ann am 

measg a che/ile, 

'S gu bheil ceann dubh air mo 

chruinneaig ghle/-ghil 

Chorus
