ORAN air latha RAON RUAIRIDH; Le Mac do dh’ Iain Lom.

Fonn. Call huill i rin ó, call o chall hui ri ho , &c. Tha lionn dubh mòr, call och i rin ó air mo chlaoidh.

N RAON RUAIRIDH so bhann,
S lionar ceann agus colunn ri lar,
Moran Ghaidheal as Ghall,
Air challsan uileann ri blar,
Nuair thainig a chlann
N ar ceann an deireadh an ,
Cha bu tilleadh gun chall,
So shanntaich gillean mo ghraidh.

Bhan t-Alasdair ciar,
Gu dian le bhrataichean fein,
An am dol a sios,
Cha bu mhiann leis fuireach nan deigh;
Cha bu chlaidhe no sgiath,
A bha mur dhion da fein,
Co chumadh ris strith?
San Righ mur spionneadh da sgeith.

Bha Donull nan Dun,
Gu dluth air uilinn a bhlair,
Bha ghillean ra chùl,
S cha seachnadh iad cuis gun dail,
Fir ghasda mo ruin,
Gar leanailt gu dluth mar sail,


[142] Fir ghasda mor ruin,
Gan casgairt le luths nan lann.

Bha Leathanaich ann,
An dream bha fuileachdach riamh,
Leam is duilich an call,
Bha iad ann o cheann fhada nan cian,
Ged tha iad gun cheann,
Bidh e annnuair is toileach le Dia;
S thig Muile na dheann,
A nall o luchd nam beul fiar.

Chlann Raoghnuill Ghlinn-Ruaigh,
Gun dfhuair sibh leagadh gu leoir,
Nan eireadh sibh suas,
Le ar sluagh gun laigse gun leon;
Ged tha sibh fo ghruaim,
As gearasdan fuar mar sroin,
Nuair thig Ailein on chuan,
Bidh gach sguab dar fearunn fur sgòd.

Tha fear an Gleann Ruaigh [MacDonell, Keppoch, a Chieftain, although a tenant to MacIntoch of Moyhall, keeping his rents unpaid with the strong hand, MacIntoch, with his men came to take MacDonell’s means by force, but was beat back with great loss; see the following song on the battle of Mulroy, being the last of the conflicts between the clans.] ,
Nach dfhuair a dhfhearunn an coir,
Ach beagan do shluagh,
Theid suas le fead chinn a mheoir;
Thainig feachd on taobh tuath,
Chuir gearasdan fuar mun sroin;
Achs e fhuair iad mur dhuais,
Dol dachaidhsan ruaig mun tòin.


[143]

Thug thu lathasa mhaoil,
Nuair bha thu gu h-aotrom og,
Le do bhrataichean fraoich,
S bu lionar laoch ann ad lorg;
Tha mo ghuidhe air an Righ,
Gun an t-aog a thighin ad choir,
Gus am faigh thu adh aois,
A Cheapach bhi saor fo dchòir.
