Verse 1 Sàmhach a-nis, tha’n oidhche dlùth, Sgiathan dorcha, bàs gun truas. Claidheamh iarainn, fuar is fìor, Thig MacRaethen, gad shireadh dhìbh. Verse 2 Hush now, bairn, the night grows near, Dark wings whisper, death is here. Blade of iron, cold and true, MacRaethen comes to look for you. Chorus: MacRaethen, MacRaethen, Shadow’s hand, the dark fae’s kin. MacRaethen, MacRaethen, Blood will call, and he comes in. MacRaethen, MacRaethen, Làmh nan sgàil, càirdean sìth dhorcha. MacRaethen, MacRaethen, Thig le fuil, fosglaidh e doras. Verse 3 Dùin do shùil, na caoidh, na glaodh, Seinnidh ban-sìth, cadal caomh. Ma sheòl thu bhuam, ma thèid thu caol, Thig sìth dhorcha, gad thoirt air falbh. Verse 4 Close your eyes, lie still, don’t weep, The banshee sings, she lulls to sleep. If you wander, if you stray, The dark fae come to steal away. Outro: MacRaethen, MacRaethen, Shadow’s hand, the dark fae’s kin. MacRaethen, MacRaethen, Blood will call, and he comes in. MacRaethen, MacRaethen, Làmh nan sgàil, càirdean sìth dhorcha. MacRaethen, MacRaethen, Thig le fuil, fosglaidh e doras.
