Oidhche Mhath Leibh
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is a very well known song, and is usually sung at the end of traditional ceilidhs. We even had a rendition of it last weekend in London at the ceilidh there! it is called Oidhche mhath leibh, which translates to 'Goodnight to you'
Although the song loses a lot in translation, the English words are stirring nonetheless.
Seist/Chorus
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, Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com Goodnight to you and blessings upon you.
Rann/Verse
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.
There's another 5 verses, but I don't have translations for them !
