English Translation

|
|
|
|
|
Tha h-uile nì ciùin
|
All is calm
|
|
Ach sughaibh na mara
|
Except for the sucking of the sea
|
|
Ag imlich bainne briste na gainneamh
|
Lapping its broken, sandy milk
|
|
Tha criòch an latha ann
|
It is the end of the day
|
|
|
|
|
Tha an t-àm nis air tighinn
|
The time has now come
|
|
Is s' fheudar dhomh fàgail
|
And I must leave
|
|
A' dealachadh mar cheud ghràdh
|
Parting like a first love
|
|
Ri àite nan Daoine
|
From the place of the People
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mi fagail, a' fagail
|
I am leaving, leaving
|
|
A' fagail àite mo chridh'
|
Leaving my beloved place
|
|
Ach cumaidh mi mo chànan 's mo cheòl
|
But I will keep my language and music
|
|
Feadh gach dùthaich san siubhail mi
|
Wherever I go
|
|
Cumaidh mi mo chànan 's mo cheòl
|
I will keep my language and music
|
|
Cho fad 's a' bhitheas anail nam chrè
|
As long as there is breath in my body
|
|
(2x)
|
(2x)
|
|
|
|
|
Tha 'm fraoch air Beinn Iomhair
|
The heather on Beinn Iomhair
|
|
A' cagair ri orain ar sinnsear
|
Whispers to the songs of our ancestors
|
|
Ach tha 'n dìleab seo ga muthchadh
|
But this legacy is being smothered
|
|
Le stoirm neo-bhìnn bho dheas
|
By a tuneless wind from the south
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mi fagail, a' fagail
|
I am leaving, leaving
|
|
A' fagail àite mo chridh'
|
Leaving my beloved place
|
|
Ach cumaidh mi mo chànan 's mo cheòl
|
But I will keep my language and music
|
|
Feadh gach dùthaich san siubhail mi
|
Wherever I go
|
|
Cumaidh mi mo chànan 's mo cheòl
|
I will keep my language and music
|
|
Cho fad 's a' bhitheas anail nam chrè
|
As long as there is breath in my body
|
