|
'Nuair a théid mi chon na féill
|
When I go to market
|
|
Bidh a' chailleach as mo dhéidh
|
The old crone comes after me
|
|
Casadaich am beul a cléibh
|
Coughing her lungs out
|
|
'S fheudar dhomb bhith suidhe rithe
|
And I have to sit and wait for her
|
|
|
|
|
'S fheudar dhomb bhith suidhe, suidhe
|
And I have to sit and wait
|
|
'S fheudar dhomb bhith suidhe rithe
|
And I have to sit and wait for her
|
|
'S fheudar dhomb bhith suidhe, suidhe
|
And I have to sit and wait
|
|
'S fheudar dhomb bhith suidhe rithe
|
And I have to sit and wait for her
|
|
|
|
|
Thig mi dhachaidh on bhuain
|
I come home from the harvest work
|
|
Bhithinn gu h-airsnealach fuar
|
Worn out and cold
|
|
Gheibhinn dhan a' phròs fhuar
|
To get cold brose
|
|
Làn na coiseduibhe dheth
|
A whole casdubh full
|
|
|
|
|
Làn na coiseduibhe, duibhe
|
A casdubh full
|
|
Làn na coiseduibhe dheth
|
A whole casdubh full
|
|
Làn na coiseduibhe, duibhe
|
A casdubh full
|
|
Làn na coiseduibhe dheth
|
A whole casdubh full
|
|
|
|
|
Thiginn dachaidh on chrann
|
I'd come home from ploughing
|
|
Bhithinn gu h-airsnealach fann
|
Worn out and weak
|
|
Chithinn a' rud nach biodh ann
|
I'd see things that weren't there
|
|
Sambla 's i 'na suidhe rium
|
This spectre sitting beside me
|
|
|
|
|
Sambla 's i 'na suidhe, suidhe
|
This spectre sitting
|
|
Sambla 's i 'na suidhe rium
|
This spectre sitting beside me
|
|
Sambla 's i 'na suidhe, suidhe
|
This spectre sitting
|
|
Sambla 's i 'na suidhe rium
|
This spectre sitting beside me
|
|
|
|
|
Thiginn dachaidh on nì
|
I'd come home from the cattle
|
|
Bhithinn gu h-airsnealach sgìth
|
Worn out and weary
|
|
Dheaghainn a laighe liom fhin
|
I'd go to lie down by myself
|
|
Shìn i 'cnamhan dubha rium
|
She stretched her black bones beside me
|
|
|
|
|
Shìn i 'cnamhan dubha, dubha
|
She stretched her black bones
|
|
Shìn i 'cnamhan dubha rium
|
She stretched her black bones beside me
|
|
Shìn i 'cnamhan dubha, dubha
|
She stretched her black bones
|
|
Shìn i 'cnamhan dubha rium
|
She stretched her black bones beside me
|
|
|
|
|
Mìle beannachd aig an eug
|
A thousand blessings on death
|
|
'S iomadh fear dhan d' rinn e feum
|
He has relieved many a man
|
|
Thug e leis mo chailleach fhéin
|
He took away my own old crone
|
|
'S éibhinn liom gun d' shiubhail i
|
I'm delighted that she's dead
|
|
|
|
|
'S éibhinn liom gun d' shiubhail, shiubhail
|
I'm delighted that she's dead
|
|
'S éibhinn liom gun d' shiubhail i
|
I'm delighted that she's dead
|
|
'S éibhinn liom gun d' shiubhail, shiubhail
|
I'm delighted that she's dead
|
|
'S éibhinn liom gun d' shiubhail i...
|
I'm delighted that she's dead...
