|
|
Bha mi latha samhraidh an Steòrnabhagh
|
One summer's day I was in Stornoway
|
|
Chunna mi rud ann agus chòrd e rium
|
I saw something there which appealed to me
|
|
Nighean bheag a'danns air a casan lom
|
A little girl dancing on her bare feet
|
|
Ribeanan na ceann agus cleòc oirre
|
Ribbons in her hair and a cloak on her
|
|
|
|
|
Thàinig balach uasal is "Lorns" air
|
A noble boy came wearing "Lorns"
|
|
Thuirt e rith, "A luaidh, cuir do bhrògan ort
|
He said to her, "Dear, put your shoes on
|
|
Gus an tèid sinn cuairt dhan a Ghearraidh Chruaidh
|
That we may go for a walk to the Castle grounds
|
|
'S dìridh mi suas Beinn na Dròbha leat"
|
And I'll climb up Bennadrove with you"
|
|
|
|
|
"Cha tèid mise cuairt chun na dròbha leat
|
"I'll go for no walk to the drove with you
|
|
Ged a tha thu uasal is brògan ort
|
Though you are noble and wear shoes
|
|
B'àill leam a bhith danns air mo chasan lom
|
I'd prefer to dance on my bare feet
|
|
Le fear a chluicheadh triomb no meileòidian"
|
With one who'd play a jew's harp or accordion
|
|
|
|
|
Bha mi latha samhraidh an Steòrnabhagh
|
One summer's day I was in Stornoway
|
|
Chunna mi rud ann agus chòrd e rium
|
I saw something there which appealed to me
|
|
Nighean bheag a'danns air a casan lom
|
A little girl dancing on her bare feet
|
|
Ribeanan na ceann agus cleòc oirre
|
Ribbons in her hair and a cloak on her
|
