|
|
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh dhan taobh tuath
|
Bear my greetings to the north
|
|
Eilean Sgithanach nam buadh
|
Isle of Skye of the virtues
|
|
'N t-Eilean sin dan tug mi luaidh
|
That island which I loved
|
|
Ait' is bòidhche fo na neòil
|
The most beautiful place under the clouds
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh dhan taobh tuath
|
Bear my greetings to the north
|
|
|
|
|
Ann an toiseach a'mhìos Mhàirt
|
In the beginning of the month of May
|
|
Dh'fhàg mi eilean gorm mo ghràidh
|
I left my beloved green island
|
|
Sneachd na thorran air an làr
|
Snow in heaps on the ground
|
|
Dh'fhàg siud mo mhàthair fo leòn
|
That left my mother sad
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh dhan taobh tuath
|
Bear my greetings to the north
|
|
|
|
|
Anns a'mhadainn mhoch Diluain
|
Early on Monday morning
|
|
Bha sinn ciadan mil' bho Chluaidh
|
She was hundreds of miles away from the Clyde
|
|
Fhuair na balaich na bha uath'
|
The boys got what they wanted
|
|
Farsaingeachd a'chuain fo sròin
|
The expanse of the seas under her prow
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh dhan taobh tuath
|
Bear my greetings to the north
|
|
|
|
|
B'fheàrr leam fhìn na mìle crùn
|
I would rather than a thousand crowns
|
|
Mi bhith nochd air tìr san Dùn
|
To be ashore in the Fort tonight
|
|
'S mi gun coisicheadh le sùnnd
|
I would joyfully walk
|
|
Rathad ùr aig clann MhicLeòid
|
The Clan Macleods' new road
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh dhan taobh tuath
|
Bear my greetings to the north
|
|
|
|
|
Eilean Sgithanach nam buadh
|
Isle of Skye of the virtues
|
|
'N t-Eilean sin dan tug mi luaidh
|
That island which I loved
|
|
Ait' is bòidhche fo na neòil
|
The most beautiful place under the clouds
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh dhan taobh tuath
|
Bear my greetings to the north
|
