|
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh thar an t-sàile
|
Convey my farewell across the sea
|
|
Null gu tir nam beanntan àrda
|
Over to the land of the high mountains
|
|
Far an d'fhuair mi greis dhe m' àrach
|
Where I spent part of my childhood
|
|
Air an àirigh anns an glinn
|
On the pasture in the glen
|
|
|
|
|
Far am biodh an ceòl 's am mànran
|
Where the hearty, friendly youths
|
|
Aig an òigridh chridheil, chàirdeil
|
Would be full of music and song
|
|
Far am biodh na h-òrain Ghàidhlig
|
There would be Gaidhlig songs
|
|
'N uair a biodh na h-àrmuinn cruinn
|
And when the clan chiefs would gather
|
|
|
|
|
Far am biodh na h-òighean guanach
|
Where the bright maidens
|
|
'S fhad a chluinnte fuaim an duanaig
|
Would always be listening to the song's melodies
|
|
Dol le 'n cuman is le 'm buaraich
|
Going with the milking pail and the fetters
|
|
Mach gu buailidh a' chruidh laoigh
|
Out to the fields of milking cattle
|
|
|
|
|
Far am bheil na stùcan ceòthach
|
Where there are misty peaks
|
|
Far am bheil am fraoch 's a' mhòinteach
|
Where there is heather on the moor
|
|
Far an cluinnte guth na smeòraich
|
Where the thrush's voice can be heard
|
|
Agus crònan aig na h-uillt
|
And the murmur of the streams
|
|
|
|
|
Ach tha chuibhle nis air tionndadh
|
But the wheel of time has now turned
|
|
'S gheibh sinn fhathast còir ar dùthcha
|
And we still see the state of our country
|
|
'S theid na h-uachdarain a sgiùrsadh
|
And the surfaces will be rippled
|
|
Mur a cum iad cothrom ruinn
|
If chances are denied us
|
|
|
|
|
Bidh ar glinn 's ar srathan còmhnard
|
Our glens and our smooth plains
|
|
Air an àiteach 's air an còmhdach
|
Will be inhabited and sheltered
|
|
'S bidh na Gàidheil mar bu chòir dhaibh
|
And the Gaels will be as they want to be
|
|
Gabhail còmhnuidh anns an tir
|
Residing in their land
|
|
|
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh thar an t-sàile
|
Convey my farewell across the sea
|
|
Null gu tir nam beanntan àrda
|
Over to the land of the high mountains
|
|
Far an d'fhuair mi greis dhe m' àrach
|
Where I spent part of my childhood
|
|
Air an àirigh anns an glinn
|
On the pasture in the glen
|
