Alasdair Mhic Cholla Ghasda Lyrics

Alasdair Mhic oho
Cholla ghasda oho
As do laimh-s' gun o ho
Earbainn tapaidh trom eile
Chall eile bho chall a ho ro
Chall eile bho chall a ho ro
Chall eile huraibh i chall a ho ro
'S haoi o ho trom eile

As do laimh-s' gun o ho
Earbainn tapaidh o ho
Mharbhadh Tighearna o ho
Ach-nam-Breac leat trom eile

'S ged 's beag mi fhein o ho
Bhuail mi ploc air o ho
Chuala mi'n de o ho
Sgeul nach b'ait leam trom eile

Chuala mi'n de o ho
Sgeul nach b'ait leam o ho
Glaschu a bhith o ho
Dol 'na lasair trom eile
Glaschu a bhith o ho
Dol 'na lasair o ho
'S Obair-Dheathain o ho
'N deidh a chreachadh trom eile

Alexander son, o ho
Of exile Cholla, o ho
Into your hand, o ho
I would entrust deeds, trom eile

Chorus (after each verse):
Chall eile bho chall a ho ro
Chall eile bho chall a ho ro
Chall eile huraibh i chall a ho ro
'S haoi o ho trom eile
Into your hand, o ho
I would entrust deeds, o ho
The Lord of Ach-nam-breac, o ho
Would be killed by you, trom eile

And although I, o ho
Would get a blow, o ho
I heard yesterday, o ho
A sad story, trom eile

I heard yesterday, o ho
A sad story, o ho
That Glasgow, o ho
Was going down, trom eile
