|
|
|
'S tim dhomh dol an ordugh
|
It's time I got organized
|
|
Is teannadh ri òran
|
And I got down to a song
|
|
Mu 'n duine rinn an dobheart
|
About the guy who did the misdeed
|
|
Bu choire dhuinn 'aoireadh
|
That we have just got to lampoon
|
|
Nuair leig e' n téin' air fogradh
|
When he let the fire out of control
|
|
A mach air feadh nam frogaibh
|
Out among the gulleys
|
|
'S nuair chaidh e feadh na coinich
|
And when it spread throughout the moss
|
|
Bha 'n seo feadh an t-saoighail
|
As if throughout the world
|
|
|
|

Sèist
:
|
Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Nach nar an sealladh e 's an Eilean
|
What an ignominious sight is the Island
|
|
Smearsaid air feadh na beinne
|
Embers throughout the mountain
|
|
Pàirceannan chuir 'n an téine
|
Fields set ablaze
|
|
Le coire chlann daoine
|
By culpable human hand
|
|
Nach nar an sealladh e 's an Eilean
|
What an ignominious sight is the Island
|
|
Smearsaid air feadh na beinne
|
Embers throughout the mountain
|
|
Pàirceannan chuir 'n an téine
|
Fields set ablaze
|
|
Le coire chlann daoine
|
By culpable human hand
|
|
|
|
|
Gur e Dòmhnull Raonuill
|
There's Donald Ranald
|
|
An uair sin bha 'n a eigin
|
As a result in quite a fix
|
|
A teicheadh as a leine
|
Fleeing out of his shirt
|
|
Ag eigheach 's a' glaodhaich
|
Shouting and bawling
|
|
Anna 's i fo ghruaman
|
Anna in a black mood
|
|
Rannaidh an taobh shuas dhi
|
Rannaidh up beyond her
|
|
'S thug Alasdair as ruaig
|
And Alasdair took to his heels
|
|
Mar gu 'm bualach an caoch e
|
As if smitten with insanity
|
|
|
|
|
Sin far an robh smuid
|
What smoke prevailed
|
|
Nuair a chaidh e 's an spruis dhluth
|
When it got among the spruce
|
|
Ghabh e mach air feadh a' Chùil
|
It headed out among the Back territory
|
|
'S gur e 'n Grudair a dhioghail
|
The Brewer sought revenge
|
|
Nuair loisgeadh air a' phàirc
|
When the park got burned
|
|
Is a mhilleadh am buntata
|
And the potatoes were destroyed
|
|
Ged theannadh iad ri bhathadh
|
Though they set to drenching
|
|
Cha b' fheirrd iad an saothair
|
It was to no avail
|
|
|
|
|
'S tim dhomh dol an ordugh
|
It's time I got organized
|
|
Is teannadh ri òran
|
And I got down to a song
|
|
Mu 'n duine rinn an dobheart
|
About the guy who did the misdeed
|
|
Bu choire dhuinn 'aoireadh
|
That we have just got to lampoon
|
|
Nuair leig e' n téin' air fogradh
|
When he let the fire out of control
|
|
A mach air feadh nam frogaibh
|
Out among the gulleys
|
|
'S nuair chaidh e feadh na coinich
|
And when it spread throughout the moss
|
|
Bha 'n seo feadh an t-saoighail
|
As if throughout the world
|
