THUGAINN A BHLÀRAG ~ KATHLEEN MACINNES (LYRICS)

This is a fantastic song from Kathleen's second album "CILLIE BHRIDE" It's a tune out of Benbecula, about a woman at work with a stubborn old cow, named "Bhlarag". Gotta love it!
For an extra treat, check out the link below to hear Kathleen & Fiona Hunter sing "I am A Miller Tae My Trade"& "The Dirty Puirt" set.

~~THUGAINN A BHLÀRAG~~
Thugainn, a Bhlàrag, thugainn a Bhlàrag.~ Come with me Blarag, come with me Blarag,
Thugainn a Bhlàrag, go Hàcleit còmh' rium ~ Come with Blarag to Hacleit
Thugainn a Bhlàrag, aig toiseach na tràghad ~ Come with me Blarag, when the ntide starts to ebb
'S tha arbhar math làidir aig tàillear an t-Sròim ~ And there's good strong corn at the Strom tailor's.
Thugainn, a chuailein, thugainn, a chuailein ~ Come on my dear, come on my dear,
Thugainn, a chuailein, ma thuath thèid sinn còmhladh, ~ Come on my dear, we'll go north together.
'S tha arbhar math seasrach aig triùir a Chlann Sheicein, ~ Three of the Seicein folk have good, young corn.
'S gun fhaigh sinn gun teagamh ann diereadh na h oidhch' ~ And we'll get there for sure by the end of the night.
'Se 'n t-àit' tha mi smaointinn tha cho math 's tha san dùthaich ~ In my opinion, as good a place as any in the country
Eadar gàrradh an Dùin 's ma chùlaibh taigh Flòraidh. ~ Is between the Dun garden and behind Flora's house.
'S nam biodh oirnn an t-acras, gun dèanadh i chasg dhuinn- ~ And if we are hungry, she'd give us relief from that-
'S e siud rud a chleachd sinn bhith 'g aslaich aig Flòaidh. ~ That's what we used to plead for, with Flora.

Hi! Thanks for uploading with the lyrics - I don't suppose you could do oran an t-saighdear gaidhealach from that album as well please? I'm trying to learn it but my gaelic isn't up to much and I can't track down a copy of the cd anywhere (inc. link above).

[@antonaidh]

A fantastic cd, sure. I will see what I can do for you. Thanks for listening.
