An Rìgh-chathair a tha nam Chridhe

by Mia Suhaimi

Tha rìgh-chathair nam chridhe,
is ’s ann leatsa a tha i.
Nach tuirt mi gur h-e
mo ghaol a th’ ort mar-thà?
Ach, seall air a’ ghealaich,
nach eil i cho buidhe
nuair nach eil mi
faisg air mo ghràidh?

Bha dà phiseig sa choille,
a’ dol suas ri chèile.
Nach tàinig an tè
ris an tèile cho math?
O b’ fheàrr leam a bhith
nam chat còmhla riutsa,
is b’ fheàrr leam a bhith
nad chaidreabh gach là.

Seall a’ ghrian a’ dol fodha,
is seall os do chionn.
Tha tòrr dhathan air
an iarmailt an-dràst’.
Cho brèagha ’s a tha i,
is cho cofhurtail i dhomhsa
nuair a bhitheas mi
ag ionndrainn do bhlàiths.
