The Rankin Family - A'challuinn (The New Year) lyrics
[This song has remained popular in Inverness County and indeed throughout Cape Breton to this day. The song is a celebration of a special New Year's homecoming, that of soldiers from war and may have it's origins in Lochaber, Scotland.] Fonn: 'Se Gillean mo rùin a thogadh mo shunnd, 'Se seo a bhiladhn' uir thug sòlas duinn, 'Se gillean mo rùin a thogadh mo shunnd. An am dol a chadal air m'uilinn san leabaidh, Gun cuala mi chaluinn 's gun d'chord i rium. [Fonn] Chualas an duan am briathran nam buadh, Thoir botal a nuas 'san tòisich sinn. [Fonn] 'Se gillean mo ghraidh a thainig o'n bhlar Le'n còtaichean sgarlaid 's bòidheadh iad. [Fonn] 'Se gillean mo chridhe a sheinneadh an fhidheall Bo mhiann le clann nighean bhi còmhla riu. [Fonn] 'S i fidheall nan teud a sheinneadh gu réidh, 'S gun cuireadh i cead an òrdugh dhuinn. [Fonn] 'S aighearrach mi o'n rinneadh an t-sith, 'S mo bheannach do'n Righ thug fòrladh dhuibh. [Fonn] 'Se gilliean mo rùin a thogadh mo shunnd. (x4) |
