|
|
|
|
Gura mis' tha fo mhulad
|
Oh that I am sorrowful
|
|
'S mi air m'uilinn 'n Gleann Cuaicheadh
|
Resting on my elbow in Glen Cuaicheadh
|
|

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
An nochd is trom tha mo cheum
|
Tonight my step is heavy
|
|
'S snigh' air mo ghruaidh fhéin
|
A tear drips on my cheek
|
|
An nochd is trom tha mo cheum
|
Tonight my step is heavy
|
|
|
|
|
Tha 'ad 'nan sìneadh 's na càrnan
|
They lie stretched under the cairns
|
|
'S luchd mo ghràidh a chumadh suas sinn
|
My beloved people who kept us
|
|
|
|
|
Bha m'athair ann 's mo mhàthair
|
My father and mother were there
|
|
'S Raghnall àrd a' chùil dualaich
|
And tall Ranald of the curling tresses
|
|
|
|
|
'S tric a thug 'ad dhomh preasant
|
As I stood by their shoulder
|
|
'S 'ad 'nan seasamh ri m'ghualainn
|
They often gave me a gift
|
|
|
|
|
Cha n-eil fàth dhomh bhith 'gan ionndrainn
|
There is no reason for me lament them
|
|
Chaidh an ùir air an duathar
|
Their shades have been covered with dirt
|
|
|
|
|
Gur h-iomadh piuthar tha gun bhràthair
|
Many a sister is without a brother
|
|
'S gu bheil i cràiteach air uairean
|
And sometimes pained by sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Beannachd Dhia dha 'n anam
|
God's blessing on their souls
|
|
Rìgh nan Aingeal 'gam buaireadh
|
The King of Angels has tempted them away
|
|
|
|
|
Cha n-eil mise 'ga aicheadh
|
I am not denying that this
|
|
Siod an dulag nach gluaiseadh
|
Is the knot that cannot be undone
|
