|
|
Deòir air mo shùil, chaidh m'aighear air chùl
|
Tears in my eyes, my joy has been banished
|
|
Iubhrach air ghleus gam ghiùlan thar sàil
|
The vessel is under sail to carry me across the seas
|
|
On tha mi gad fhàgail, eilean mo chrìdh
|
Since I am leaving you, my beloved island
|
|
Sòlas is sìth ort 's àgh
|
Delight and peace and prosperity be with you
|
|
|
|
|
Muile nam fuar-bheann, Mòrbhairn an àigh
|
Mull of the high bens, Morven of joyfulness
|
|
Apainn na grèine 's Latharn' mo ghràidh
|
Sunlit Appin and my beloved Lorne
|
|
'S an t-eilean beag uain' an caidreabh a chuain
|
And the little green isle in the embrace of the sea
|
|
Eilean dan tug mi bàidh
|
The island to which I have given affection
|
|
|
|
|
Cadal no dùsgadh cluinnidh mi uam
|
Asleep or awake I will hear from afar
|
|
A bhanarach òg ri luinneig mun chrò
|
The young milkmaid singing by the cattle fold
|
|
San ùr-mhadainn Chèit 's an smeòrach air gèig
|
And in the new May morning the mavis on the bough
|
|
A'gleusadh a pìob gu ceòl
|
Tuning her pipe for music
|
|
|
|
|
Sìoda is sròl cha iarainn rim dheòin
|
Silks and satins I would not desire
|
|
No seudan is stòr no leabaidh-chloimh àrd
|
Or jewels and riches or a high wooden bed
|
|
B'e m'aighearachd bhuan an àirigh bheag uain'
|
My everlasting happiness would be the little green shieling
|
|
Is cadal gu suain air làr
|
And a deep sleep on the floor
|
|
|
|
|
Soraidh le coilltean, soraidh le tràigh
|
Farewell to forests, farewell to the shore
|
|
Is soraidh le àilleachd, soraidh le bàigh
|
And farewell to the beauty, farewell to affection
|
|
On tha mi gad fhàgail, eilean mo chrìdh'
|
Since I am leaving you, my beloved island
|
|
Sòlas is sìth ort 's àgh
|
Delight and peace and prosperity be with you
|
|
|
|
|
Muile nam fuar-bheann, Mòrbhairn an àigh
|
Mull of the high bens, Morven of joyfulness
|
|
Apainn na grèine 's Latharn' mo ghràidh
|
Sunlit Appin and my beloved Lorne
|
|
'S an t-eilean beag uain' an caidreabh a chuain
|
And the little green isle in the embrace of the sea
|
|
Eilean dan tug mi bàidh
|
The island to which I have given affection
|
