|
|
|
'N tèid thu leam, a Mhàiri
|
Will you come with me, Mary?
|
|
'S am falbh thu leam thar sàile
|
And will you go with me across the sea?
|
|
An tèid thu leam air bhàrr nan tonn
|
Will you come with me on the top of the waves
|
|
Gur tìr nam gleann 's nan àrd-bheann?
|
To the land of the glens and the high mountains?
|
|
|
|
|
Led chumadh dealbhach, aìllidh
|
With your beautiful shapely figure
|
|
Mar dhealradh reult air fàire
|
Like the gleam of a star on the horizon
|
|
'S e d'nàdur ciùin, do bhàidh 's do mhùirn
|
'Tis your gentle nature, your kindness and your politeness
|
|
A leag mo rùn 's mo ghràdh ort
|
Which caused me to appreciate and love you
|
|
|
|
|
Tha agam sprèidh len àiltean
|
I have cattle with their followers
|
|
'S mo mheanbh-chrodh air na h-àirdean
|
And my small cattle on the high ground
|
|
'S bidh laoigh is uain air raon is cluain
|
And calves and lambs will be in field and pasture
|
|
'S gur taitneach fuaim am bàirich
|
And pleasant the noise of their lowing and bleating together
|
|
|
|
|
Stad a nis, a Ghàidheil
|
Stop now, Highlander
|
|
Mo chrìdh, mo rùn 's mo làmh dhut
|
I give you my heart, my love and my hand
|
|
Gun tèid mi null go tìr nam beann
|
Indeed I shall go over to the land of the bens
|
|
On choisinn fonn do dhàin mi
|
As the melody of your song won me
|
|
|
|
|
'N tèid thu leam, a Mhàiri
|
Will you come with me, Mary?
|
|
'S am falbh thu leam thar sàile
|
And will you go with me across the sea?
|
|
An tèid thu leam air bhàrr nan tonn
|
Will you come with me on the top of the waves
|
|
Gur tìr nam gleann 's nan àrd-bheann?
|
To the land of the glens and the high mountains?
|
