|
|
|
O fàilt' air Rudha Bhatairnis
|
Oh welcome to Vaternish Point
|
|
Gur maiseach leam do chluaintean
|
Your plains are beautiful
|
|
Thoir soraidh slàn gu Hàllain
|
Bear sincere greetings to Hallain
|
|
'S nach fhaod mi thràigh a bhualadh
|
As I cannot get to its shore
|
|
|
|
|
'S i Ghearmailt le cuid ìnnleachdan
|
It was Germany with its plans
|
|
A chur mi fhìn gu cuantan
|
That forced me to go to sea
|
|
'S nam faighinn dhachaidh sàbhailte
|
And if I got home safely
|
|
'S i Màiri nach biodh gruamach
|
Mairi would not be downcast
|
|
|
|
|
'S gun aithnichinn fhìn do bheanntanan
|
I'd recognize your mountains
|
|
'S gach gleann a tha mun cuairt dhut
|
And every glen which surrounds you
|
|
'S gur ann aig Lag an t-Sìthein
|
And it is at Fairy Hollow
|
|
Tha'n rìbhinn rinn mo bhuaireadh
|
That the maiden who troubles me lives
|
|
|
|
|
O fàilt' air Rudha Bhatairnis
|
Oh welcome to Vaternish Point
|
|
Gur maiseach leam do chluaintean
|
Your plains are beautiful
|
|
Thoir soraidh slàn gu Hàllain
|
Bear sincere greetings to Hallain
|
|
'S nach fhaod mi thràigh a bhualadh
|
As I cannot get to its shore
|
