Cumha Sheathain from Buile by Roehind
Cumha Sheathain (Lament for Seathan), also known as Òran Sheathain
(Song of Seathan) or Seathan Mac Rìgh Eireann (Seathan, Son of the King of Ireland), is a dirge dating back as early as the 14th century. Many iterations of this song exist with hundreds of verse variations, but some of the most popular are those catalogued by 19th century folklorist Alexander Carmichael in his anthology Carmina Gadelica. Today it is mostly sung as a waulking song.

Lyrics
Hiù rù o na hi òro
Tha Seathan na diugh na mharbhan
Hiù rù o na hi
Naidheachd a bha dhomhsa searbh dhe
Hiù rù o na hi
Na hi ò hug òro
