DUAN NOLLAIG [56]

Hoire ! hoire ! beannaicht e! beannaichte e!

Hoire! hoire! beannaicht e! beannaicht e!

Hoire! hoire ! beannaicht e'n Righ dh' am bi sinn a' seinn,

Ho! ro! biodh aoibh!

Nochd oidhche Nollaige moire,

Rugadh Mac na Moir Oighe,

Rainig a bhonnaibh an lar,

Mac nam buadh a nuas o'n ard,

Dhealraich neamh is cruinne dha,

Ho! ro! biodh aoibh!

Seimh saoghal dha, sona neamh dha,

Feuch rainig a bhonn an lar,

Fodhail Righ dha, failt Uain dha,

Righ nam buadh, Uan nan agh,

Shoillsich cluan agus cuanta dha,

Ho! ro! biodh aoibh!

Shoillsich frith dha, shoillsich fonn dha,

Nuall nan tonn le fonn nan tragh,

Ag innse dhuinne gun d' rugadh Criosda

Mac Righ nan righ a tir na slaint;

Shoillsich grian nam beannaibh ard dha,

Ho! ro! biodh aoibh !

Shoillsich ce dha is cruinne comhla,

Dh' fhosgail De an Domhnaich Dorus;

A Mhic Mhuir Oighe greas ga'm chomhnadh,

A Chriosd an dochais, a Chomhla 'n t-sonais,

Oradh Ghreine shleibh is mhonaidh,

Ho! ro! biodh aoibh !
