Faoin Achain	An Idle Wish
Guirmead nan reui 'nad shùilean, Ròs fon driùchd 'nad àilleachd, Do chorrag bheag an greim mo lùdaig - Achain dion is sgàth bhuat. 0, na cuir annamsa do mhuinighin, Naoidhein earbsaich ghràdhaich, Is Khrushchev, Ike 's MacGhilleMhaoil Snìomh trioblaidean 'nad dhàn-sa. Tormond MacLeoid	The blue of the stars is your eyes, A dew-drenched rose is your beauty, Your tiny finger clutching my pinkie - Your plea for defence and protection. O, don't put your confidence in me, My child that's so trusting and loving, When Khrushchev, Ike and Macmillan Are spinning troubles in your future. Norman MacLeod
