Òrain Runrig – le stràcan / Runrig Lyrics – with accents

[GunChleoc]

Nuair a thòisich mi air a’ Ghàidhlig ionnsachadh, b’ e goireas glè chudromach is prìseil a bh’ anns na h-òrain aig Runrig dhomh gus a fuaimean a chleachdadh. Bha a’ mhòr-chuid de na stràcan a dhìth air na faclan sgrìobhte co-dhiù agus tha mi air sgrùdadh nam faclan uile a dhèanamh gus na sràcan a bha a dhìth a chur riutha. Geibhtear na faclan air an làrach-lìn againn.

Mòran taing do Runrig airson cead foillseachaidh a thoirt dhomh.


When I started learning Gaelic, Runrig’s songs were a very important and treasured ressourse for me for learning the pronunciation. Most of the accents were missing from the written words though, so I went through all the lyrics and added the missing accents. You can get the lyrics at our website.

Many thanks to Runrig for giving me permission to publish them.

Tha seo fior mhath - 's math a rinn thu

[GunChleoc]

Ma bhios sibh a lorg stràc sam bith a tha a dhìth fhathast, cuiribh fios thugam

[Seonaidh]

Sin "di-stràc-tion", nach e?

[Thrissel]

Hey, is sgoinneil a rinn thu!

I went over my two Runrig favourites, and I'm not certain about these (considering not just stràcan):

Chì Mi ’n Geamhradh:
"Chan eil an sneachd’ fada bhuainn"- shouldn't it be an t-sneachd', snow being masculine?
Edited: no, stupid me.

Na H-Uain A's t-Earrach:
"’S laithean earraich a falbh bhuainn" - apostrophe after a (a' falbh)?
"’S an againn tha neart / Is an againn tha ’n cothrom" - 's ann againn? (perhaps an is correct, but in that case I don't see how it's meant )
"Nì aon dhuibh gluasad ’s leanaidh ’n corr" - grave in còrr?

Tha thu ceart - cuiridh mi ris e.

"’S an againn tha neart / Is an againn tha ’n cothrom" - 's ann againn? (perhaps an is correct, but in that case I don't see how it's meant )

'S ann 'an' a tha e anns an Songbook

"Nì aon dhuibh gluasad ’s leanaidh ’n corr" - grave in còrr?

Tha sin coma - ma bhios facal le aon lide agad is dad sam bith ann an dèidh rr, bidh am fuaimreag fada ann a h-uile dòigh.

O! Tapadh leibh, a GhunChleoc agus a Rhunrig!
