|
|
A nìgheanag, a gràidh
|
My beloved girl
|
|
'S tu dh'fhàg an dochair 'nam cheann
|
You have pained me
|
|
Air feasgar Di-ciadain 'nam shuidhe
|
On Wednesday evening I am sitting
|
|
'S mi riasladh ri rann
|
Struggling to compose a verse
|
|
Gum b'fheàrr a bhith sìnte
|
I'd rather be stretched out
|
|
Gu socair 's gu sìobhalt' 'sa ghleann
|
Quietly and peacefully in the glen
|
|
A' cadal le chéile
|
Sleeping together
|
|
Fo dhuilleach nan geugan ud thall
|
Under the branches over there
|
|
|
|
|
'S ann dhut-sa, mo leannan
|
To you, my love
|
|
Thug mise mo chridhe 's mo chiall
|
I gave my heart and my reason
|
|
Mo dhùsgadh, mo chadal, mo reult
|
My waking, my sleeping, my star
|
|
Mo ghealach 's mo ghrian
|
My moon and my sun
|
|
'S tu m'oidhche, mo mhaidainn, mo bhùrn
|
You're my night, my morning, my water
|
|
Is m'anail 's mo bhiadh
|
My breath and my food
|
|
'N àm éirigh is laighe
|
At waking and lying down
|
|
'S tu fhéin an aingeal 'gam dhìon
|
You are the angel protecting me
|
|
|
|
|
Nan robh mise 's mo leannan
|
If my love and I were
|
|
Air sléibhtean farsaing an fraoich
|
On the wide, heathery hill
|
|
Gun uallach mu éirigh
|
Free from the burden of getting up
|
|
Ach laighe gu sèimh ann an gaol
|
But lying peacefully in love
|
|
Toinnte le chéil' ann an sonas
|
Entwined in happiness
|
|
Gun léireadh ri d'thaobh
|
Without torment by your side
|
|
'S an oidhche le cleòca
|
And the night's cloak
|
|
Gu buileach a' còmhdach an raoin
|
Completely covering the plain
|
|
|
|
|
An saoghal ged 's farsaing
|
Although the world is wide
|
|
Gum b'fheàrr a bhith tathaich 'sa' ghleann
|
I'd rather be in the glen
|
|
Ri taobh na h-òg chailin
|
Lying beside the young girl
|
|
Air thalamh is maisiche leam
|
On the ground is more enticing to me
|
|
Bidh rìomhachd, a h-àilleachd
|
Her elegance, her beauty
|
|
'S a grinneas gu bràth 'na mo cheann
|
And her kindness will be on my mind
|
|
'S an lùchairt mo chridhe
|
And in the palace of my mind
|
|
Bidh àite, mo nighean, dhut ann
|
There will be a place for you, my girl
|
|
|
|
|
Thig fois air an talamh
|
Stillness will descend on the world
|
|
Thig tosd air anail a' chuain
|
And the breathing sea will be silent
|
|
Air tonnan a' chladaich
|
The waves breaking on the shore
|
|
Thig tàmh is cadal car uair
|
Will be at peace for a time
|
|
Èoin bheaga na doire
|
The little birds of the grove
|
|
Ni fasgadh sona fo'n bhruaich
|
Will take happy shelter under the bank
|
|
Ach mo ghaol-sa do m' leannan
|
But my love for my darling
|
|
Ri m' bheo chan aithnich e suain
|
Will never know rest
|
