Chorus
:
|
|
Tha fadachd cian do ghaoil orm
|
Long have I missed your love
|
|
'S tha mulad mòr as d'aonais orm
|
And great is my grief without you
|
|
Tha fadachd cian do ghaoil orm
|
Long have I missed your love
|
|
|
|
|
Fhuair mi nead na liath-chirce
|
I have found a gray-hen's nest
|
|
Air bàrr nan tonnan iargalta
|
On the crest of the angry waves
|
|
Bha'n coileach as a' chliabadaich
|
The cockerel showing off
|
|
Le cliabh air bac a ghaoirdein
|
With a creel in the crook of his arm
|
|
Tha fadachd cian do ghaoil orm
|
Long have I missed your love
|
|
|
|
|
Chunna mi na tàrmachain
|
I have seen ptarmigans
|
|
An talamh-toll 'san àrd-dorus
|
In a burrow above the door
|
|
Bha dreathan-donn 's dà ràmh aige
|
A wren with a pair of oars
|
|
'Cur bàta 'n aghaidh gaoithe
|
Was rowing a boat against the wind
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Chunna mi, 's gum b'fhiosrach mi
|
I have seen, and I know it well
|
|
Na ròin a' falbh le litrichean
|
Seals carrying letters
|
|
Màileaid is peilios orra
|
With satchels and pelisses
|
|
Is iad cho glic le daoine
|
And just as much sense as people
|
|
Tha fadachd cian do ghaoil orm
|
Long have I missed your love
|
|
|
|
|
Chunna mi na sùlairean
|
I have seen the gannets
|
|
A' dannsadh a's na cùl-taighean
|
Having dances in outhouses
|
|
A' chuthag is "gug-gug" aice
|
The cuckoo singing "cuckoo"
|
|
A' piocadh sùil nan caorach
|
Pecking out sheep's eyes
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
