|
|
O 's ann tha mo ghaol a' chlann
|
Oh how I love my children
|
|
Nach till thugam a-chaoidh a-nall
|
Who will never come back here to me
|
|
'S e dh'fhàg mo chridhe-sa cho trom
|
What has left my heart so heavy
|
|
Mar a bhios a' chlann air m'aire
|
Is the way my children are on my mind
|
|
O 's ann tha mo ghaol a' chlann
|
Oh how I love my children
|
|
|
|
|
'S beag mo shunnd ris a' chuir-suas
|
I have no heart for the seaweed work
|
|
Chan ann air a tha mo smuain
|
It is not what is in my thoughts
|
|
Nuair nach d'fhuair mi mo dhà luaidh
|
When I have not found my two loved ones
|
|
Gus an cur an uaigh 's an anart
|
To lay there in a grave, in shrouds
|
|
O 's ann tha mo ghaol a' chlann
|
Oh how I love my children
|
|
|
|
|
Thug mi sgrìob a mach an dé
|
I took a walk outside yesterday
|
|
'S fhuair mi saighead a bha geur
|
And what I found pierced my heart
|
|
Falmadair a bh'agaibh fhéin
|
The tiller that was yours
|
|
'S ann a thréig e sibh dh'ur n-aindeoin
|
It gave way for all you could do
|
|
O 's ann tha mo ghaol a' chlann
|
Oh how I love my children
|
|
|
|
|
Gura mise th'air mo leòn
|
I am heartbroken
|
|
Mu Iain, an gille còrr
|
Over John, my kind son
|
|
Nuair a shuidheadh tu mu'n bhòrd
|
When you sat around the table
|
|
'S tu nach sòbhradh oirnn an dràma
|
You would not stint on a dram
|
|
O 's ann tha mo ghaol a' chlann
|
Oh how I love my children
|
|
|
|
|
O 's ann tha mo ghaol a' chlann
|
Oh how I love my children
|
|
Nach till thugam a-chaoidh a-nall
|
Who will never come back here to me
|
|
'S e dh'fhàg mo chridhe-sa cho trom
|
What has left my heart so heavy
|
|
Mar a bhios a' chlann air m'aire
|
Is the way my children are on my mind
|
|
O 's ann tha mo ghaol a' chlann
|
Oh how I love my children
|
