Plàigh na Cruinne
le Fionnlagh MacLeòid, Scalpaigh
Is truagh a’ phlàigh a tha air tigh’nn dhan àite,
a tha gar fàgail fo phràmh car ùin,
Chan fhaic sinn càirdean is cha chluinn sinn gàire,
’s gach baile sàmhach le dorsan dùint.
Chan eil pàisde san sgoil mar ’s àbhaist,
ri mire is mànran is ri chèile dlùth,
Chan fhaighear fàilte le crathadh làmhan
is cùram slàinte gar fàgail ciùirt.
Tha obair làitheil a-nis air àicheadh,
’s chan fhaod sinn fàgail an taigh le sùnnd,
Se fuireach sàbhailt taobh a-staigh ar fàrdaich
’s ar n-aran làitheil fhaighinn às a’ bhùth.
Chan eil feum no stà dhuinn Sìona chàineadh,
ged ’s ann san àite sin thog e ceann o thùs,
Is tha fear sna Stàitean bu chòir bhith sàmhach,
an àit bhith ’g àrdachadh a neart ’s a lùths.
Tha ’n Fhraing ’s An Spàinn a-nis nam fàsach,
le sìth is sàmhchair anns gach cùil,
Is air gach sràid san robh sluagh gun àireamh,
cha chluinn sinn càpraid no buidhnean-ciùil.
Tha’n Eadailt àlainn na dùthaich fhàsail,
oir tha h-uile stàit a-nis glaiste, dùint,
Air a fàgail an-diugh fo sgàile,
Is mòr an àireamh chaidh a chur san ùir.
B’e ’n galair grànnda a tha milleadh slàinte,
is a’ toirt guth a’ bhàis oirnn uile dlùth,
Is ged bhiomaid làidir nuair thig an nàmhaid,
bheir e gu làr sinn am beagan ùin'.
Tha mo bheannachd bhlàth dol chun nan àrmann
san t-seirbheis slàinte tha cosnadh cliù.
Gum biodh iad sàbhailt nan dreuchdan làitheil,
Is Dia na fhàbhar a’ toirt gràs as ùr.
Se mo dhùrachd àraid dhuibh uile an-dràsda,
sìth is slàinte is speuran ciùin,
’S gun glèidhear slàn sibh anns gach ceàrnaidh,
’s gum bi gach càs air a chur air cùl.
Gun teich na sgàilean tha cois na h-àmhghair,
’s gum bi grian a’ deàrrsadh air gach gnùis,
Le gràdh is càirdeas, is spèis is slàinte,
is riaghladh gràsmhor tigh’nn o Dhia nan dùl.
