|
|
O mo dhùthaich' stu th'air m'aire
|
Oh my country, you are on my mind
|
|
Uibhist chùmhraidh ùr nan gallan
|
Fresh, fragrant Uist of the saplings
|
|
Far a faighte na daoin' uaisle
|
Where the noble men are found
|
|
Far 'm bu dual do Mhac 'ic Ailein
|
Who gave their hereditary allegiance to Mac ic Ailein
|
|
|
|
|
Tìr a' mhurain, tìr an eorna
|
Land of seabed, land of barley
|
|
Tìr 's am pailt a h-uile seòrsa
|
Land of abundance of every kind
|
|
Far am bi na gillean òga
|
Where the young lads will be
|
|
Gabhail òran 's 'g òl an lionna
|
Singing songs and drinking beer
|
|
|
|
|
Thig iad ugainn, carach, seòlta
|
Whey will come to us, cunning and wily
|
|
Gus ar mealladh far ar n-eòlais
|
In order to entice us from our homes
|
|
Molaidh iad dhuinn Manitòba
|
They will praise Manitoba to us
|
|
Dùthaich fhuar gun ghual, gun mhòine
|
A cold country with no coal and no peat
|
|
|
|
|
Cha leig mi leas'a bhith 'ga ìnnse
|
I don't need to say
|
|
Nuair a ruigear, 'sann a chithear
|
That when we reach it, we'll see it
|
|
Samhradh goirid fogar sìtheil
|
A short summer and a peaceful autumn
|
|
Geamhradh fada na droch-shìde
|
A long winter of bad weather
|
|
|
|
|
Nam biodh agam fhìn de stòras
|
If I had riches
|
|
Dà dheis aodaich, paidhir bhrògan
|
A change of clothes and a pair of shoes
|
|
Agus m'fhàradh bhith 'nam phòca
|
And my prayer in my pocket
|
|
'Sann air Uibhist dheanainn seòladh
|
It is to Uist that I would be sailing
|
