• • "Wha" is used in this context as well. --MacRusgail 22:06, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

All the accents appear to be missing from the Gaelic translation, for instance failte should be spelt fàilte and so on. Siliconglen (talk) 22:11, 9 January 2012 (UTC)siliconglen

Scottish Gaelic translation

What's the state of the Gaelic translation? If it's a definitive or official text then it needs a cite. If it's someone's informal translation then it shouldn't be here.

Hum. Not much life here then. I could also ask what is the provenance of the English translation. Is that definitive. Is there a source? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.15.53.75 (talk) 20:05, 8 March 2016 (UTC)

I would argue further, that regardless of how interesting the Gaelic translation is (if correct), there is no reason for it to be there. The poem was not written in Gaelic, nor to my knowledge is is ever sung or read in that form. Since this is not a Gaelic language Wiki, the easiest solution might just be to delete it.

Is “or” in “let us do or dee” “before”?

https://www.robertburns.org/works/428.shtml has a hyperlink on “or”, and says “before”.

But that hyperlink doesn’t only appear in this webpage. Searching “"or" site:www.robertburns.org/works” can find lots of other webpages with the word “or” and with the same hyperlink.

That might mean that “or” could sometimes be “before”, but “or” in “let us do or dee” doesn’t have to be “before”.

So what is “or” here? “Before” or simply “or”? I don’t know. Georgezh9617 (talk) 18:43, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
