|
|
|
O gur mis' th'air mo chradh
|
Oh I am sorely wounded
|
|
Thuit mo chridhe gu lar
|
My heart has sunk to the ground
|
|
'S tric snighe gu'm shail o'm leirsinn
|
And readily do my tears stream downward
|
|
Dh'fhalbh mo chlaisinneachd bhuam
|
My hearing has left me
|
|
Cha chluinn mi 'san uair
|
At this time I hear nothing
|
|
Gu mall na gu luath ni's eibhinn
|
Slow or swift, that is joyous
|
|
|
|
|
Mu Phrionns' Tearlach mu ruin
|
Of beloved Prince Charlie
|
|
Oighre dhligheach a' chruin
|
The rightful heir to the crown
|
|
'S e gun fhios gu de'n taobh an teid e
|
He knows not which way to turn
|
|
Fuil Rioghail nam buadh
|
The virtuous royal blood
|
|
Bhith 'ga diobairt 'san uair
|
Being forsaken at this hour
|
|
'S mac diolain le sluagh ag eirigh
|
And a bastard son taking over by force
|
|
|
|
|
Siol nan cuilein a bha
|
He was of a race of curs
|
|
Gu ro-mhath chinnich an t-al
|
Well has the litter come
|
|
Chuir iad sinn ann an cas na h-eiginn
|
They've put us with our backs to the wall
|
|
Ged a bhuainnich sibh blar
|
Although you won a battle
|
|
Cha b'ann de'r cruadal a bha
|
It was not by your hardihood
|
|
Ach gun ar sluagh-ne bhith'n dail a cheile
|
But that our host wasn't mustered together
|
