Lyrics:

This love song remains extremely popular in Inverness County and
In Mabou in particular. The young poet praises his sweetheart for
Her beauty, her style, and her linguistic accomplishments.
Seisd (Chorus)
Oich u\ agus h-iu\raibh e/ile,
Oich u\ agus h-iu\raibh e/ile,
H-iu\raibh o\, agus ho\ro e/ile,
'S mo chruinneag dhonn,
Gur a trom ad dheigh mi
C'a\ite bheil I ann an Albann
Cruinneag bho\idheach is gille calpa
Slios mar fhaoilinn air aodan fairge,
'S gur h-e do throm-ghaol a rinn mo
Mharbhadh
'Nuair a the/id mi chun na fe/ille
Bidh mo shu\il air a 'chruinneig
Ghle/-ghil,
Is binne Ga\idhlig's as deise Beurla,
'S bidh sa\iltean a\rd air a
Bro\gan eutrom,
Tha do shu\ilean mar na sheuran,
No mar dhearcagan donn an t-sle/ibhe
Dubh a's donn ann am
Measg a che/ile,
'S gu bheil ceann dubh air mo
Chruinneaig ghle/-ghil
