|
|
|
Tha mi'n dùil, tha mi'n dùil
|
I expect, I expect
|
|
Tha mi'n dùil-sa bhith tilleadh
|
I expect to return
|
|
Dh'ionnsaigh Dùthaich MhicLèoid
|
To the land of Macleod
|
|
Far an òg robh mi mire
|
Where I played when I was young
|
|
|
|
|
Fhuair sinn litrichean o'n rìgh
|
We got the letters from the king
|
|
Gus sinn fhìn dhèanamh ullamh
|
So that we could prepare
|
|
Los a dhol a-null do'n Fhraing
|
To go over to France
|
|
A chur braing 'san fhear-mhillidh
|
To upset the destroyer
|
|
|
|
|
Nuair a chuir iad sinn air tìr
|
When they put us ashore
|
|
A-measg shìobain is murain
|
Among the waves and the sea-bent
|
|
Thug sinn batal air an tràigh
|
We fought a battle on the beach
|
|
'S gun d'rinn pàirt againn fuireach
|
And some of us remained
|
|
|
|
|
Fhir a dh'imicheas do'n Iar
|
You who travel to the West
|
|
Ged robh bliadhna mun ruig thu
|
Though it were a year before you arrive
|
|
Thoir an t-soiridh seo do m'ghràdh
|
Bring this greeting to my loved one
|
|
"Ma is slàn mi gun tig mi"
|
"If I am alive, I will come"
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mi'n dùil, tha mi'n dùil
|
I expect, I expect
|
|
Tha mi'n dùil-sa bhith tilleadh
|
I expect to return
|
|
Dh'ionnsaigh Dùthaich MhicLèoid
|
To the land of Macleod
|
|
Far an òg robh mi mire
|
Where I played when I was young
|
