Summary

In the opening lines of this song, the poetess regrets that the cattle are going to be moved. The remaining lines tell how she went out without shoes, a coat or a plaid. She tells how she arrived at a big house where young men were sitting in comfort, drinking wine from goblets.

Transcription

'S muladach mi 'm Bràigh a' Ghlinne
Hìllirin is hó hug ó
An crodh an-diugh a' dol imprig
Hó ró ho làithill ó, hirì horó ho
Hìllirinn is hó hug ò
'S tha 'n crodh an-diugh a' dol imprig
'S thug mis' a-mach mar a bh' agam
Cha do dh'fhuirich mi rim chaisbheart
No rim chòta no rim bhreacan
Shaoileam nach robh brògan agam
Ràna mi taigh mòr na buaile
Taigh mòr farsainn, ùrlar sguabte
Teine mòr air bheagan luatha
Sèithrichean gu leòr mun cuairt ann
Gillean òg nan suidhe suas annt'
'G òl à cupa, 'g òl à cuachan
'S ag òl fìon às mhiasan uasal
'S ràna mi taigh mòr na glaice
