Padstow

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 eile,
Oich u agus h-iuraibh eile,
H-iuraibh o, agus horo eile,
'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 theid mi chun na feille
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-sleibhe
Dubh a's donn ann am
measg a cheile,
'S gu bheil ceann dubh air mo
chruinneaig ghle-ghil
Chorus
