Beannachd-beatha
A h-uile latha sona dhut 's gun latha idir dona dhut. |
May all your days be happy, Without any unhappy at all. |
Guma fada beò sibh is ceò ás ur taigh. |
A long, lasting life, Lang may yer lum reek. |
Gum biorach do shròn, Gun liath thu air chòir. |
May your nose be pointy, May you not age prematurely. |
Saoghal fada, buan, Pailt do bhliochd is do bhuar. |
A long, lasting life, May your dairy products and cattle be plentiful. |
Saoghal fada sona dhut do cholainn fallain slàn do bhoth gun bhoinne snidhe ann do chiste-mhine làn. |
A long and happy life to you your body healthy hale your cottage without any leak your flour-chest full. |

Beannachd-taighe
A Dhé, beannaich an taigh, Bho stéidh gu stàidh, Bho chrann gu fraigh, Bho cheann gu saidh, Bho dhronn gu traigh, Bho sgonn gu sgaith, Eadar bhonn agus bhràigh, Bhonn agus bhràigh. |
God, bless this house, From foundation to stay, From beam to side wall, From roof to upright beam, From ridge to basement, From balk to roof-truss, Between foundation and attic, Foundation and attic. |
Droch-leigheas
Mura bheil thu earbsa á cungaidh a fhuair thu, faodaidh tu seo a chleachdadh:
Bainne á cìoch circe ann an adharc muic agus iteag cait 'ga mhìneachadh. |
Milk from a chickens teat in the horn of a pig and a cats wing pounding it. |
If you are suspicious of the medicine you got, you can use the above.
Slànachadh
Seo dà dhuan beag a chleachdas ma tha clann air a goirteachadh. Séid air an àite goirt is can an duan seo.
Trì lùth latha, Trì latha Luain, Trì caorain mhònach, Trì fòidean guail, Is bidh i/e slàn mus pòs thu. |
The vigour of three days, Three Mondays, Three bits of peat, Three lumps of coal, And it will be healed before you marry. |
Ub an fhionnaich, Ub an fheannaich, Trì fòidean mònadh, Trì caorain ghuail, Trì ugan adag, Thigeadh ás an Loch a Tuath Is bidh i slàn mus pòs thu. |
Charm of the skinning, Charm of the flailing, Three bits of peat, Three lumps of coal, Three haddock collarbones, That would come from the Loch a Tuath, And it will be healed before you marry. |
These two little rhymes can be used when a child has hurt itself; blow on the sore spot and say this rhyme.
