Rinn mi dearmad air seo air LĂ  Eadar-NĂ iseanta nam Ban. LĂširsinneach, dubhach.

Had forgotten about this classic from the great Sorley MacLean for #InternationalWomansDay

Ban-GhĂ idheal

Agus labhair T’ eaglais chaomh
mu staid chaillte a h-anama thruaigh;
agus leag an cosnadh dian
a corp gu sĂ mhchair dhuibh an uaigh.

Is thriall a tĂŹm mar shnighe dubh
a’ drĂčdhadh tughaidh fĂ rdaich bochd;
mheal ise an dubh-chosnadh cruaidh;
is glas a cadal suain a-nochd.
