Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Si u ro bha ho e hillium bo ha
|
Si u ro bha ho e hillium bo ha
|
|
Hillium bo ruaig thu i hillium bo ha
|
Hillium bo ruaig thu i hillium bo ha
|
|
'S i u ro bha ho e hillium bo ha
|
'S i u ro bha ho e hillium bo ha
|
|
|
|
|
A chlach a bha aig mo sheanamhair
|
The Stone that my grandmother
|
|
'S mo sheanair oirre seanchas
|
And grandfather used to talk about
|
|
Air tilleadh mar a dh'fhalbh i
|
Has returned as it left
|
|
Mo ghalaghad a chlach
|
My brave Stone
|
|
'S gur coma leam an Cearrara
|
And I don't care whether it's in Kerrera
|
|
An Calasaraid no'n Calabhaigh
|
Callendar or Calvay
|
|
Cho fad's a tha i'n Albainn
|
As long as it's in
|
|
Na'n garbhlaichean cas
|
Steep, rugged Scotland
|
|
|
|
|
Ga cur an aite tearmainn
|
To be put in a place of refuge
|
|
A chumas i gu falachaidh
|
Which will conceal it safely
|
|
'S nach urrain nach dearg iad
|
So that they can't, they won't manage to
|
|
Air sgealp dhith thoirt as
|
Remove a single fragment of it
|
|
A chlach a chaidh a dhith oirnn
|
The Stone that was lost to us
|
|
Air faighinn anns an inghain
|
Prised from their grasp
|
|
'S gu deimhine ma thill i
|
And certainly, if it has returned
|
|
Tha'n ni sin gu math
|
That's a very good thing
|
|
|
|
|
'S bha ministeir cho tursach
|
The Minister was so sorrowful
|
|
'Sa mhaduinn 'nuair a dhuisg e
|
When he woke that morning
|
|
'S prapan air a shuilean
|
His eyes bleary
|
|
A tionndadh am mach
|
As he turned out
|
|
E coiseachd feadh an urlar
|
Walking the floor
|
|
Ag ochanaich 's ag urnaigh
|
Sighing and praying
|
|
'S a coimhead air a chul
|
And looking at the nook
|
|
Anns an do dh'ionndrainn e a chlach
|
Where he'd found the Stone missing
|
|
|
|
|
Sin far robh an starachd
|
There was much pacing
|
|
S an ruith air feadh an lair ann
|
And running 'round the floor
|
|
Gun smid aige ri raitinn
|
And all he could say was
|
|
Ach cait an deach a chlach
|
"Where did the Stone go?"
|
|
'Sa Mhoire, Mhoire mhathair
|
And, "By the Holy Mother
|
|
Gu de ni mise am maireach
|
What will I do tomorrow
|
|
Tha fios 'am gu'n bidh bhanriunn
|
I know the Queen
|
|
A fagail a beachd
|
Will be beside herself"
|
|
|
|
|
Ach rainig e na diuidich
|
___
|
|
A'burralaich 's a buirich
|
___
|
|
"Tha breitheanas a'dluthadh oirnn
|
___
|
|
Spuilleadh a'chlach"
|
___
|
|
'S bha Sasunn air a dusgadh
|
___
|
|
S an cathair air a rusgadh
|
___
|
|
S oileadhag mu na diunlaich
|
___
|
|
A ghiulain a chreach
|
___
