This is... sort of a sockpuppet journal really, I suppose. Anyway it's not my normal one. It's been here idling away for a while, but since I've succumbed to the temptation of the Black Phoenix Alchemy Lab, that seems as good a reason as any to use this and try and keep at least SOME of the Squee away from my regular journal.

Well, that and one or two other reasons. :D If you want to friend this one, go ahead! I'm sure I'll friend you back. But I'll need to know a bit more about you before divulging the whereabouts of my regular place. Nothing personal, I assure you.

Ulc a dhean mo lochd
Gun gabh e ’n galar gluc gloc,
Guirneanach, gioirneanach, guairneach,
Gaornanach, garnanach, gruam.

Gum bu cruaidhe c na chlach,
Gum bu duibhe e na ’n gual,
Gum bu luaithe e na ’n lach,
Gum bu truime e na ’n luaidh.

Gum bu gointe, gointe, geuire, gairbhe, guiniche e,
Na’n cuilionn cruaidh cnea-chridheach,
Gum bu gairge e na’n salann sion, sionn, searbh, sailte,
Seachd seachd uair.

A turabal a null,
A tarabal a nall,
A treosdail a sios,
A dreochail a suas,

A breochail a muigh,
A geochail a staigh,
Dol a mach minic,
Tighinn a steach ainmic.

Sop an luib gach laimhe,
Cas an cois gach cailbhe,
Lurg am bun gach ursann,
Sput ga chur ’s ga chairbinn.

Gearrach fhala le cridhe, le crutha, le cnamha,
Le gruthan, le sgumhan, le sgamha,
Agus sgrudadh cuisil, ugan is arna,
Dha mo luchd-tair agus tuaileis.

An ainm Dhia nam feart,
A shiab uam gach olc,
’S a dhion mi le neart,
Bho lion mo luchd-freachd
Agus fuathachd.

- Carmina Gadelica, vol 2
