I learnt this lullaby from Christine Primrose in the Gaelic Song class at Sabhal Mòr Ostaig on the Isle of Skye in 2008.
Bidh Clann Ulaidh, laoigh 's a lurain
Bidh Clann Ulaidh air do bhanais
Bidh Clann Ulaidh, laoigh 's a lurain
Dèanamh an danns' air do bhanais
Sèist
Bidh Clann a' Righ, bidh Clann a' Righ
Bidh Clann a' Righ air do bhanais
Bidh Clann a' Righ seinnear a' phìob
Òlar am fìon air do bhanais
Bidh Clann Amhlaidh na fir ghreannmhor
Bidh Clann Amhlaidh air do bhanais
Bidh Clann Amhlaidh na fir ghreannmhor
Dèanamh an danns' air do bhanais
Sèist
Bidh Clann Choinnich nam feachd soilleir
Bidh Clann Choinnich air do bhanais
Bidh Clann Choinnich nam feachd soilleir
Dèanamh an danns' air do bhanais
Sèist
Bidh Clann Dhòmhnaill tha cha neonach
Bidh Clann Dhòmhnaill air do bhanais
Bidh Clann Dhòmhnaill tha cha neonach
Dèanamh an danns' air do bhanais
Sèist
The Children of Ulster, my lamb, my treasure
The Children of Ulster will be at your wedding
The children of Ulster, my lamb, my treasure
Will be dancing at your wedding
Chorus
The King's children, the King's children
The King's children will be at your wedding
The King's children - the pipes will be played
Wine will be drunk at your wedding
The Clan MacAulay - a merry crowd
The Clan MacAulay will be at your wedding
The Clan MacAulay - a merry crowd
will be dancing at your wedding
Chorus
The Clan Mackenzie, bright in their clothing
The Clan Mackenzie will be at your wedding
The Clan Mackenzie, bright in their clothing
will be dancing at your wedding
Chorus
The Clan MacDonald and it's no wonder
The Clan MacDonald will be at your wedding
The Clan MacDonald and it's no wonder
will be dancing at your wedding
Chorus
