An Seann Tigh Sgoil (The Old School House)

LYRICS

Séist (Chorus)

Ged a sheòl mi air m’aineol
Cha laidh smallan air m ‘inntinn.

 Mu’n a sgoil an laithean m ‘oige
Tha mi toiseachadh ri innse.

 Cha robh scribbler anns a phrovince,
‘S gun robh moran eile dh ‘ith oirnn.

 Leabhar leubhaidh agus grammar,
‘S mor a ghrainn a bh ‘agam fhin orr’

 Cha robh guth air examinations,
No air gradadh fad an t-season.

 Gun dad ach ag ionnsachadh leubhadh
Tables agus beagan sgriobhadh. 

Aig Nollaig cha’n fhai’adh sinn candy
– Cha robh Santa Claus ‘san tid ud

Paidhir mhogain ‘s leine dhrogaid,
Gum bu phrosail bhiodh sinn fhin leo.

A chas ruisgt an tid an t-samhraidh
Cha robh sandals ‘s cha robh sneakers

Cha robh fasannan uire
Air guntan nan nigheanaig.

Ach dreasaichen fada dhrogaid
Agus opair oirre sliobadh.

 – An t-aodach a dheanadh a’ mathair.
‘S cha robh snaile thighinn bho Eaton.

 Ach bha iad cus na bu bhoidhche
Na’n fheadhainn og an diugh le side

Cha robh guth aca air rouge,
No air fudairean mine.
