VERSE # 1:
Nollaig Chridheil!
Christmas bells are ringing.
Scotland's wee ones
Run merrily at play.
Nollaig Chridheil!
Everybody's singing,
For Iosa Criosd
Was born on Christmas Day!

CHORUS:
Clanna nan Alba
Seinn Nollaig aimsir.
Children of Scotland
Sing of Christmas time.
Shona is deam uile.
Everyone is happy.
Cluig Nollaig bheir seinn.
Christmas bells will chime.

VERSE # 2:
Nollaig Chridheil!
Throughout the misty islands,
Clansmen and kith
Will gather, far and near.
Nollaig Chridheil!
It's time for feasts and stories.
Even furry beasties
Love this time of year.

VERSE # 3:
Nollaig Chridheil!
Our Christmas fire is cheering.
Outside the door,
The wintry winds are cold.
Nollaig Chridheil!
Opening our Bible,
Wee ones listen closely
While the tale is told.

  • I learned how to pronounce Nollaig Chridheil form you. wanto learrn scots and Irish gaelic. Slainte!

  • @MoonlightLadyDee

    Thank you.

    Actually, I only know a few words of Scottish Gaelic.

    It's difficult to learn, or to even stay interested, when there's no one else to practice speaking it with.

  • Love the song! Proud to be a Celt , even if I am a misplaced one. Nollaig Chridhel!
