The Gaelic Song in the Hebrides
Aignish
An ciaradh m'fheasgair 's mo bheath' air claoidh
Mo rosg air dunadh 's a' bha\s gun chli.
Stiuir cu\rs' an lar leam gu Eilean ciatach
Gu Aignish sgiamhach far an d'a\raich mi.
An sin gun ca\irich sibh mi 'san fho\d
A measg mo cha\irdean 'smo shinnsrean co\ir,
Ri tonnan ba\rr-gheal a' bualadh tra\ghad
'Sri machair Aignish nan laoigh 's nam bo\.
Aignish (translation)
When day is over nad life is done
Mine eyes have closed and my strength has gone,
O westwards take me and quietly lay me
In Aignish graveyard beside the sea.
There please leave me by kith and kin
By parents kindly and all my friends,
By white waves pounding on beaches sounding
By Aignish graveyard beside the sea.
