|
|
Tha'm peata uan a meithealaich
|
The pet lamb is mehing
|
|
A meithealaich' sa ranaich
|
And mehing and crying
|
|
Tha'm peata uan a meithealaich
|
The pet lamb is mehing
|
|
An truaghan 's e gun mhathair
|
The little soul without his mother
|
|
Mise deanamh mathair dha
|
I'm being mother to him
|
|
'S mi deanamh bainne blath dha
|
Warming milk
|
|
'Ga bhlathachadh's a phannaig bhig
|
In a small pan
|
|
'S ga chuir 's a bhotuil dha-san
|
To put in a bottle for him
|
|
|
|
|
Ba, ba bi cabhagach
|
___
|
|
'S mo stamag bheag a fannachadh
|
___
|
|
Mo chasan caol air air lagachadh
|

|
|
'S mi 'g iarraidh bainne blath

___
|
|
|
|
|
Tha'm peata uan a feitheamh orm
|
The little lamb is waiting on me
|
|
Is acras air cianail
|
With a terrible hunger
|
|
Tha'm peata uan a feitheamh orm
|
The little lamb is waiting on me
|
|
Mi thighinn a mach ga bhiathadh
|
To come and feed him
|
|
An t-earball beag a dol gun sguir
|
His little tail is wagging frantically
|
|
'S e meithlealaich 's a' sgiamhail
|
___
|
|
'S cha sgur e chaoidh de'n ranaich aig
|
He'll never stop his crying
|
|
Gu seas mi air a bheulaibh
|
'Til I feed him
|
|
|
|
|
Ba, ba bi cabhagach
|

'S mo stamag bheag a fannachadh

'S mi 'g iarraidh bainne blath
|
___
|
|
|
|
|
Tha cloc an stobh' is gliong aige
|
The oven clock rings out
|
|
Ag innse dhomh a sgeulachd
|
Telling me its story
|
|
Gu bheil am bainne blath a nisd
|
The milk is ready now
|
|
Is deisil son a phiatain
|
For the pet lamb
|
|
Abair gu bheil sogan air's
|
He is more than ready
|
|
An t-sine dol dha'n bheul aig
|
As the teat goes into its mouth
|
|
'S tha peata uain a deoghal dheth
|
The pet lamb eagerly drinking
|
|
Gu bheil e lan is riaraicht
|
Until he is fulfilled
|
|
|
|
|
Ba, ba mo charaid choir
|
Ba, ba my kind friend
|
|
Tha'n stamag bheag a nist air doigh
|
You're satisfied and content
|
|
Is theid mi mach a dh'ith an fheoir
|
I'll go and eat the grass
|
|
Dh'an achadh comhl' ri cach
|
In the steading with the rest
|
