An t-Eilean Àlainn Ceud mile fàilte don eilean àlainn Ceud mile fàilte don àite bhòidheach Ceud mile fàilte do Mhuile àlainn Far an d’fhuair mi m’àrach an làithean m’òige Chan ann gun sòlas ar làithean m’òige Cha tàinig bròn ann am choir san àm sin Bu bheir mi còmhla ri cuideachd òigridh A chluich gu spòrsail
san dòigh a b’annsa A b’àlainn riamh leam na coilltean
grianach ‘s am faighte ‘n eunlaith bu bhreagha na
chèilidh A’ chuthag liathghorm ‘s a’chòisir sgiathach Ri ceòl cho ciatach
‘s an òg-mhios Chèitein ‘S ged tha mi ‘m aonar
‘s mi fad om dhaoine Gu bràth cha chaochail mo ghaoil don àit’ ud Tìr bhòidheach chraobhach nam beann ‘s nan
aonach ‘S mo dhùil bhith daonnan
gum faodainn tàmh ann. Le Aonghas Mac Tàbhais Sgrìobhte ann am meadhan na 1930s nuair a bha e ann an Ard-sgoil an Òbain |

the sunny woods Where the
birds were found in lovely company The blue-grey
cuckoo and the winged choir Making lovely
music in the month of May And though I
am alone and far from my people Never will my
love for that place die Lovely wooded
land of bens and slopes And my
intention is always to live there By Angus MacTavish Written in the mid-30s when he was a pupil at |
