FHLEASGAICH OIG IS CEANALTA (The Young and Gentle Lad). Scottish, Slow Air (3/4 time). D Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). One part. A Highland air. The chorus goes:

A fhleasgaich oig is ceanalta
'S tu leannan nan deas ghruagach
Do ghaol a rinn mo sharachadh
'S tha bhlath sin air mo shnuadh-sa

[Oh young and gentle lad
To all the girls their sweetheart be
Your love has so oppressed me
I'm pale and worn, it's plain to see ]
