Plume et parchemin

Un poème ou chanson traditionnelle souvent entonnée à la fin d'une fête (ceilidh) en Ecosse. Ici en gaëlique et en anglais

Refrain :

Soraidh leibh is oidhche mhath leibh,
Oidhche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh;
Guidheim slainte ghna h bhith mar ribh,
Oidhche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh.

Translation:
Farewell and goodnight to you,
Goodnight and blessings upon you;
let me wish health always to be with you,
Goodnight to you and blessings upon you.

Couplet :
Chan eil inneal ciuil a ghleusar
Dhuisgeas smuain mo chleibh gu aoibh
Mar ni duan o bheoil nan caileag,
Oidhche mhath leibh 's beannachd leibh.

Translation:
There is not a musical instrument that is played
Which awakens the thoughts of my heart to joy
As does a song from the lips of the lassies,
Goodnight and blessings upon you.
