Ceòl le | Music by Brian Ó hEadhra

Mar a tha fios againn, tha mòran chreutairean draoidheil agus iongantach a' fuireach ann an glinn agus mòintichean na dùthcha againn. Tha e an-còmhnaidh math urnaigh a bhith agad air eagal ‘s gum bi thu feumach air.

This is a prayer for protection we found in the collection of folklore - Ortha nan Gàidheal/Carmina Gadelica, collected by Alexander Carmichael in the 1800's.

lyrics

Beannaich, a Thriath nam flath fial
Mi fèin 's gach sìon a ta na m' chòir
Beannaich mi nam uile ghnìomh
Dèan mi tèarainte ri m' bheò
Dèan mi tèarainte ri m' bheò

Bho gach gruagach is ban-sìth
Bho gach mì-rùn agus bròn
Bho gach glaistig is ban-nìgh
Gach luch-sìth agus luch-feòir
Gach luch-sìth agus luch-feòir

Bho gach fuath bhiodh feadh nam beann
Bho gach greann bhiodh teann d' am thoir
Bho gach uruisg measg nan gleann
Teasraig mi gu ceann mo lò
Teasraig mi gu ceann mo lò

Bless, O Chief of generous chiefs
Myself and everything anear me
Bless me in all my actions
Make thou me safe forever

From every brownie and banshee
From every evil wish and sorrow
From every nymph and water-wraith
From every fairy-mouse and grass-mouse

From every troll among the hills
From every siren hard pressing me
From every ghoul within the glens
Oh, save me till the end of my day
