about

Traditional Scottish strathspey & reel, arraigned and passed to me by Mary Jane Lamond of Cape Breton.

lyrics

Ciamar a nì mi 'n dannsa dìreach
How can I make a tidy dance

Ciamar a nì mi 'n ruidhle bòidheach
How can I dance a bonny reel

Ciamar a nì mi 'n dannsa dìreach
How can I make a tidy dance

Dh'fhalbh a' phrìn' a chuir air chlì mi
The pin went and that put me astray

Dh'fhalbh a' phrìn' ás bonn mo chòta
The pin went from the hem of my coat



Mo ghille mór foghain'each
My big, able lad
Mo ghille mór gaolach
My big, darling lad
Mo ghille mór foghain'each
My big, able lad
Mo bhuachaill' nan caorach
My herder of the sheep
 
 
Mo bhuachaill' a' laochan
My hero is the shepherd
Mo bhuachaill' nan caorach
My hero herds the sheep
Mo bhuachaill' nan gobhar
My hero herds the goats
'S mo bhuachaill' nan caorach
My hero herds the sheep
