|
|
|
Buaidh na bàrdachd, mo chiad ghaoil
|
Muse, my first love
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
Reul as dealraicht' air an t-saoghal
|
Brightest star in all the world
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
Ged tha do cheutadh fad bhom ghreim
|
Although your affection is far from my grasp
|
|
Chuimhnidh mi do lathaireachd 's dhuisg mo chrè
|
The memory of your presence wakens my being
|
|
Guth mar ròs, smuain mar dris
|
A voice like a rose, emotion like a thorn
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
|
|
|
Buaidh na bàrdachd gealach ghlan
|
Muse, a single moon
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
Gun ionnsaidh, mheall thu fir-nan-dàn
|
Without effort you enticed the poets
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
Mar dreag, bhris iad ar reul-bhad òr
|
Like a meteor they shattered our golden constellation
|
|
Bha thu nad bhlath 's iad na glòir
|
You were in your blooming and they in their glory
|
|
Fear-amhairc sanntach, miannach 's eud
|
Covetous, desirous, jealous bystander
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
|
|
|
Buaidh na bàrd, mo ghaol bìth-bhuan
|
Muse, my everlasting love
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
Thuit gu làr, flùr-bhileagan
|
Your petals fell to the earth
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
Ged bhreab thu mi gu tosdach, ghaoil
|
Although you spurned me mutely, love
|
|
Mo smuain ar thriall nad ghealaich shaoir
|
My thoughts are on your clear moon's path
|
|
Gam mhealladh gum chadal ciùin
|
Enticing me to my peaceful sleep
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
|
Och, faillin o
|
Och, faillin o
|
