Oran air feachd Righ Sheimis a gluasad gu cumail blar Raoin-Ruairidh, ’n aghaidh nan Sasunnach, le Iain Lom.

Fonn— ’Illean bithibh guineach.

S MITHICH dhuinn marsadh as an tir,
On chuir sinn dith air feoil nam mart;
Tamull an ordugh, dhuinnes dar mor-shluagh,
Dhimhich arn oigridh uainn a mach;
A chuilein oig, ma tha thu leonta,


[71] Gun seall an Righ mor riut anns gach beart;
Air mhaduinn di-mairt, rinn sinn marsadh,
S facal gach seardsain a ruith oirnn mu seach.

Aig leith-taobh an t-saile, tharruing na h-armuinn,
Suas nam bragadaibh gu gle cheart;
Mu bheul an anamoich, shuidhich sinn campa,
As dhimich ar ceannard uainn a mach;
Facal ar Coirneil ri Sir Donull,
Mur sud as arn ordugh bhi nar glaic;
Na leìgibh bonn dail, an seasamh a gheard,
Agus cumaibh ur naimhdean uaibh a mach.”

Bu fhliuch a mhaduinn, a thog sinn ar breacain,
Sa chuaidh sinn air asdar gus an tigh gan robh chairt [The billet-house.] ,
Nuair rinn sinn eiridh, gun drinn sinn ar eideadh,
As chuaidh sinnn ar leum fo na cnapanna saic [The knapsacks.]
S bu lughaid arn airtneal, nuair thainig am feasgar,
Nuair loisgeadh an lasag, bu lionor srad;
O Cheann-Lochiall, gun drinn sinn triall,
Snuair chrom a ghrian, gun drinn sinn stad.

Aig ceann Loch Lochai shuidhich sinn campa,
Latha roimhe dhi-domhnuichs da latha na dheigh;
Chruinnich ar cairdean uilair an laraich,
S thog iad an lamhan an lathair Mhic De;
Bu bheag ar speis do dhairgiod no spreidh,
S gun dfhag sinn nar deigh ar mnathans ar clann;
Cheart aindeoin an sport, ged chiuirte againn corp
Cha dean sinn bonn clos, gus an cosgar leinn Gall.


[72]

Labhair an Gramach a bfhearr nadur,
A chlanna nan Gaidheal na faiceamur gruaim,
Togaibhurn inntinn, thainig an tim dhuibh,
S mithich dhuinn marsadh don tir so shuas:
Dhfhalbh sinn a muigh cho ro statail,
Gusn do rainig sinn braighe Ghlinn Ruaidh;
Mach ri Gleannturaid, as monadh sin Dhrumuinn,
Dhimich gach duine bha guineach san ruaig.

Mach monadh Dhruim-uachdair, dhimich na h-uaislean,
Bu mhor cruadals bu bheag sgios,
Nuair rainig sinn Atholl, cha dfhuair sìnn ach mnathan,
Chuaidh fir as an rathad, mun gabhte dhiu cis;
N deigh mheadhon latha, sinn a falbh air arn athais,
Aig leith-taobh na h-amhunn, ghabh sinn a sios;
Thainig marcaich a steach, air beulaa phas,
Dhinnsgun dthainig am prasgan as Coirneal Mac Aoidh.

Baithghearr a cheilidh, thug muinntir Righ Sheimis,
Leith-taobh an t-sleibhe ghabh iad a suas;
Bu lionor fallas air gach mala,
Aig direadh a bhealaich an taobh mu thuath;
Ceann na cuimhne, roimhe mhuinntir,
Pairt darn iondrain e bhi uainn:
Baigionntach sporsail, aigne Chlann Donuill,
Ged fhuair iad an leonadh, bu deonach leonuair.

Ghluais gach fine, gun tlaths gun tioma,
Gun sgath gun ghiorrag, nan ionadafein,
Chuaidh sinn cho statail, ’m brollach ar namhaid,


[73]S cha tilgte crann sathte an la sin gun fheum,
Aig deireamh an latha, nuair tharruing sinn claidhe,
Bha toiseach ar sgathaidh, ’n am laidhe don ghrein;
Cheart aindeoin an sparraidh, ged bu laidir am barail,
Gun do chaill iad am fearunn sa t-anam na dheigh.

Ceannard an aigh, gun do thuit thusa bhlar,
S bu sgathach do lamh, gus an dthainig a nuair;
S e do bhas a Dhuindithe, dhfhag ormsa trom-lithe,
Chuir toll ann mo chridh, ’sa dhfhag snith air mo ghruaidh
Bu bheag air son t-eirig, na thuit do na beisdean,
An cogadh Righ Sheimis, ged dheirich leinn buaidh;
Ach sgapadh nan cuileag, air muinntir Righ Uilleam;
Tha sinne fo mhulad, ged chuir sinn iad uainn.

Coirneal Ramsaidh, bu mhor anntlachd,
Anns an am ud tighin a steach;
Gun robh sinn cho aingidh, anns an am sin,
Greim air Gall cha leigimid as;
Choirneil Balfur, ye son of a whore,
I’ll make you sure, ye’ll come to the fight;
Bhrist iad do chrun, as t-ad air do shuilean,
S ghearr iad do bhùtainn air culado chas.
