|
|
Gur e mise tha fo mhulad
|
I feel depressed
|
|
'S mi air tulaich na h-àirigh
|
As I sit on the hill near the sheiling

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Hò rò 's na hù ò
|
Hò rò 's na hù ò
|
|
Falbh ho rò n-àill u
|
Falbh ho rò n-àill u
|
|
Hò rò 's na hù ò
|
Hò rò 's na hù ò
|
|
|
|
|
'S mi ri coimhead na mara
|
I gaze at the sea
|
|
Ag cur thairis a'bhàta
|
As it capsizes the boat
|
|
|
|
|
'S mi ri coimhead nan gillean
|
I stare at the young men
|
|
Air an linnidh 'g am bàthadh
|
Being drowned in the channel
|
|
|
|
|
Mo thriùir bhràithrean ann 's m'athair
|
My three brothers are there and my father
|
|
Fear mo thighe 's e chràdh mi
|
The head of my house is the one who grieves for me
|
|
|
|
|
Bàs Aonghnuis a Barraidh
|
The death of Angus of Barra
|
|
Gur e sgar is a chràdh mi
|
Has torn me with affliction and tormented me
|
|
|
|
|
Chuir 'ad léine de'n anart
|
They enveloped you in a shirt of linen
|
|
Gun bhannan mu d'bhràghad
|
Without bands around your neck
|
|
|
|
|
Ann an cistidh chaoil, chumhaing
|
In a narrow, contracted coffin
|
|
Air a dubhadh 's a tàirneadh
|
Dark-stained and nailed down
|
|
|
|
|
Och nan och mar tha mise
|
Woe of woes, such is my plight
|
|
Bean gun mhisneach gu bràth mi
|
I will ever remain a woman without courage
|
|
|
|
|
Té gun mhac, gun fhear taighe
|
A woman without a son, without a husband
|
|
Té gun aighear, gun slàinte
|
Without mirth, without health
|
