|
|
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nisd air fas cho fosgailte
|
Has become slack
|
|
'S cha mhor nach rachainn rompha
|
I'm sure I'd go through them
|
|
Mur bu socraiche mo nadur
|
If it wasn't for my quiet nature
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
|
|
|
|
'S an te nach'eil an taobh aiste
|
If one doesn't have a hold in the side
|
|
Tha pios a dhith a chuil aice
|
There'll surely be a hole on the back
|
|
'S na h-ordagan's na ludagan
|
___
|
|
'S gun lub dhuibh air na sailean
|
___
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
|
|
|
|
'S tha h-ile te is toll oirra
|
Each one has a hold
|
|
'S gur buileach dh'fhalbh an ceann aca
|
And is heelless
|
|
Cha robh iad riamh cho gann agam
|
I've never been so in need
|
|
'S e th'ann ach culaibh naire
|
Of a pair of socks
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
|
|
|
|
'S gum bith gach aon a cantainn rium
|
Everyone said
|
|
Nach b'fhiach a chaidh an dath th'orra
|
What pity that the color has run
|
|
Bu choma leam na maireadh iad
|
I don't really mind what color they are
|
|
Ged bhiodh an dath bu ghrainnd' oirr'
|
If only they would last
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
|
|
|
|
Ma thacras duin' bhith comhla rium
|
Should I be in company
|
|
Cha chuir mi dhiom na brogan
|
I shall not remove my shoes
|
|
Mar tha h-uile te 'san t-sron aisde
|
Each one being toeless
|
|
'S gun toir iad dhomhsa naire
|
They would only bring me shame
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
|
|
|
|
'S ma thacras duin' bhith faisg orm
|
Should anyone be near me
|
|
Gur saoileam gur th' ann breac a tha 'd
|
And think mu socks are mottled
|
|
'S gun toir iad greis air beachdachadh
|
Confusion could arise
|
|
'S mo chraicinn-sa ro phairt duibh
|
As to which is sock and skin tone
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
|
|
|
|
'S mo bheannachds' aig na nigheanagan
|
Every blessing to the girls
|
|
A charadh pairt de dhion dhiubh
|
Who darned and made them
|
|
'S a bheireadh pairt de dhion dhiubh
|
___
|
|
S a chiall nach robh mi lamh riuth
|
I with I were near them
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
|
|
|
|
'S ged nach biodh inc is peann agam
|
I would need ink and pen
|
|
Cha choimeadainn co-mheud toll a th'orr'
|
To calculate the number of holes in them
|
|
Cha mhor nach'eil mi caingeis
|
I'm quite certain which end will be the top
|
|
Gu de'n ceann a bhios gu h-ard dhiubh
|
It's immaterial to which end is which
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
|
|
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nisd air fas cho fosgailte
|
Has become slack
|
|
'S cha mhor nach rachainn rompha
|
I'm sure I'd go through them
|
|
Mur bu socraiche mo nadur
|
If it wasn't for my quiet nature
|
|
Tha h-uile te dhe'm stocainnean
|
Each one of my socks
|
|
'S a nochd a feum an caradh
|
Needs to be mended
|
