English Translation

|
|
|
|
|
Fhir a shiùbhlas na frìthe
|
You who travel the mountains
|
|
Tha thu sìor thighinn fainear dhomh
|
Are forever coming into my thoughts
|
|
Tha mi 'g innse le fìrinn
|
I am telling in truth
|
|
An nì rinn mo sgaradh
|
What has torn me
|
|
Chan e ghearradh a luaidh
|
It wasn't the cutting lead
|
|
A rinn am bualadh fo'm neimheil
|
That made the blow so bitter
|
|
Ach an dh'fhuirich dhe'm chàirdean
|
But the many of my friends
|
|
Anns a'bhlàr a bha 's t-earrach
|
Who fell in the battle in springtime
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mo chiabhag air glasadh
|
My hair has gone gray
|
|
Tha mo leth-cheann air muthadh
|
And my visage changed
|
|
Tha mo shùilean a'sileadh
|
My eyes are weeping
|
|
Tha mo chridhe bochd, brùite
|
And my heart is sick and wounded
|
|
Le'n a dh'fhuirich dhe'm chàirdean
|
For the number of my friends
|
|
'S an làr 'n deach a rùsgadh
|
Who remained to be stripped on the battlefield
|
|
'S e mheudaich mo chràdh
|
What has increased my pain is
|
|
Gun fhios co chàraich an ùr orr'
|
Not knowing who spread the earth over them
|
|
|
|
|
Chan eil diùc ann an Albainn
|
There is not a duke in Scotland
|
|
No gu dearbh ann a Sasuinn
|
Or indeed in England
|
|
Nach iarradh an òigear deas òg
|
Who wouldn't wish the young and handsome youth
|
|
Bhi na mhac dha
|
To be his son
|
|
Ann an toiseach do thìmeghlac
|
In the beginning of your career
|
|
Thu inntinn bha beachdail
|
You captivated discerning minds
|
|
Bha thu foghainteach, rìoghail
|
You were stalwart and kingly
|
|
Bha thu dìleas bha'n aidmheil
|
And you were steadfast in the faith
|
|
|
|
|
Ach sguiridh mise gar'n iomradh
|
But I will cease talking of you
|
|
Neo idir gar'n àireamh
|
Or indeed counting you
|
|
Bho'n a chaill mi na gibhtean
|
Since I lost the gifts
|
|
Nach tig gu latha bràth
|
Which will not return 'til Judgement Day
|
|
'S ged a thigeadh Rígh Seamas
|
And although King James would come
|
|
'S a dh'eidir gach sraid e
|
And be proclaimed on every street
|
|
Ann an deireadh gach cùmailt
|
At the end of each situation
|
|
Bidh mo chùis-sa mar tha e
|
My state would be as it is
|
