Cliar - Clò Mhic Ille Mhìcheil

Lyrics :	English Translation :

Sèist :	Chorus (after each verse) :
Hùg air clò Mhic Ille Mhìcheil	Hùg air clò Mhic Ille Mhìcheil
Hòro thùgaibh, thùg ga-rìribh	Hòro thùgaibh, thùg ga-rìribh
Hùg air clò Mhic Ille Mhìcheil	Hùg air clò Mhic Ille Mhìcheil

Oganaich ùir a' chùil teudaich	Handsome man with the ringletted hair
'S oil liom eudach a bhith dhìth ort	It displeases me that you are short of clothing

Bheir Albainn cuideachadh luadhadh	Scotland will help with the waulking
Ma tha gruagaichean san rìoghachd	If there are maidens in the country

Ni mi fhìn dhuit sgioba chlèith'	I will make a waulking group for you
Den phòr as gleusda tha 's a 'Chrìosdachd	Of the most expert progeny in Christendom

Gun tig bannal oirnn à Slèite	A band will come from Sleat
'S air do chlèith-s' gun dèan iad dìcheall	And they will work with diligence on your waulking board

Gun tig gruagaichean Chlann Raghnaill	Clanranald's young women will come
Còmhlan dàicheil nach dean dìobradh	A handsome troupe who will not fail you

Thig sgiob' eil' à Gleanna Garadh	__
Luaidheas gu faramach dìonach	__

Gun tig nìghneagan on Cheapaich	Young women will come from Keppoch
A bheir caithris air mun sgìthich	Who will waulk through the night without wearying

Buidheann mhaighdeann à Gleann Còmhann	A group of maidens will come from Glencoe
Fùcadairean coimheach rìoghail	Strange regal waulkers

Gheibh sinn sgiob' eile à Eirinn	We will get another band from Ireland
O Iarl' Anntraim nan steud rìomhach	From the Earl of Antrim of the beautiful steeds

Dèanabh an luadh-làmh gu guineach	Do the hand waulking with venom
'S thugaibh fuil air mac na strìopaich	And bloody the son of a whore
