Chi mi'n Geamhradh anns a' ghaoith
Chan eil an sneachd' fada bhuainn.
Sgothan dorch 's na craobhan rùisgt'
Tha an oidhche nochd fuar.
Shaoillinn fhéin gur ann an-dé
Bha teas an t-samhraidh 'gar leaghadh
Fad an fheasgair air an dùn
'S tu laigheadh leisg ri mo thaobh.
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn suiridhe.
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn gair.
'S iomadh oidhch' a bhithinn a' smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla rium gu bràth.
Chan fhan a' ghrian fad na bliadhn'
Cha sheas an uair mar a tha i
Dh'fhalbh thusa gu'n a' cheò
'S dh'fhàg thu mi le mo gheamhradh.
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn suiridhe.
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn gair.
'S iomadh oidhch' a bhithinn a' smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla rium gu bràth.
Chi mi'n Geamhradh anns a' ghaoith
Chan eil an sneachd' fada bhuainn.
Sgothan dorch 's na craobhan rùisgt'
Tha an oidhche nochd fuar.
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn suiridhe.
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn gair.
'S iomadh oidhch' a bhithinn a' smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla rium gu bràth.
The video has an attempted transcription of the audio - with rather a lot of errors (some trivial, like missing accents, some really crazy); I think I've got it all right in the text above - if anyone spots an error please let me know.
(2016-10-29) The video I originally referenced has disappeared from YouTube, and I can't now find one of Donnie Munro singing it with the final repeats; it's also been deleted from here, it would have been nice if whoever deleted it had bothered to tell me but that didn'thappen. So I've provided instead a pointer to a video of his 2014 Hamburg performance, where he repeats the first stanza after the second chorus (as in these lyrics) but doesn't follow it with a final repeat of the chorus (the song starts 120 seconds into the video). However, I did find a video of Catherine-Anne MaPhee where she does sing the lyrics that were used by Runrig (with Donnie singing) in the video I first used, that's on youtube at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TgFyXtOaUkA.
