"Aoidh, Na Dean Cadal Idir

Òran tàlaidh a dh'ionnsaich mi bho Chatrìona Garbutt, seinneadair agus pìobaire air leth ainmeil à Beinn na Fadhla.

A lullaby song sung as a warning, which I learned from Catriona Garbutt, a great singer and piper from Benbecula, whose late brother Calum taught me the pipes at Carinish School when I was a youngster. The word Aoidh can mean "Guest" but it is also a Christian name, which is still used in Ireland for the name "Hugh".

Aoidh, na Dèan Cadal Idir,

Aoidh, na dèan cadal idir,
Aoidh, na dèan cadal trom;
Aoidh, na dèan cadal idir --
Thoir a-mach ris an tom.

Aoidh, na dèan cadal idir,
Aoidh, na dèan cadal trom;
Seall a‑staigh fo thaobh do leaba:
Gheibh thu 'n gaoirdean rag 's e trom.

Aoidh, na dèan cadal idir,
Fois chan fhaigh 's a' chreach air bhonn;
Seall rid leis, an claidheamh geur ann,
'S thoir a-mach ris an tom.

English Translation- Aoidh, don't sleep at all,

Aoidh, don't sleep at all,
Aoidh , don't sleep deeply;
Aoidh don't sleep at all -
Take to the hills immediately.

Aoidh don't sleep at all,
Aoidh, don't sleep deeply;
Look under your side of your bed:
You'll find the stiff, heavy arm.

Aoidh, don't sleep at all,
You'll get no peace with the raid underway;
Ensure your sharp sword is on your thigh
And take to the hills immediately."
