|
|
Gur moch rinn mi dùsgadh san ùr mhadainn Chèit
|
Early did I arise on the fresh May morning
|
|
'S a dhìrich mi'm bruthach gun duin' ach mi-fhèin
|
And I ascended the hill all alone
|
|
Tha 'ghrian air a turas a'siubhal tron speur
|
The sun is on its course across the sky
|
|
Dealt na h-oidhche a'tùirlinn thar ùr dhos nan geug
|
The dew of night falling on the young shoots of the branches
|
|
|
|
|
A'dìrich an aonaich ri aodann a'chùirn
|
Ascending the hill beside the face of the cairn
|
|
'S binn torman a'chaochain as aoidheile bùrn
|
Sweet is the murmur of the brook of purest water
|
|
Le ròis air gach taobh dheth ag aomadh fon drùchd
|
With roses on either side of it bending under the dew
|
|
'S e ri deàrrsadh na grèine ag èirigh na smùid
|
In the gleam of the sun rising as a vapor
|
|
|
|
|
'S binn na h-èoin feadh nam preasan gu leadarra seinn
|
Melodious are the birds throughout the bushes singing harmoniously
|
|
Tha'n uiseag làn sòlais ri cèol os mo chionn
|
The lark is full of solace singing above me
|
|
Na ba-laoigh anns a'gheumnaich air an rèidhlean ud thall
|
Cows with calves lowing on yonder plain
|
|
'S mac-talla nan creagan gam freagairt air ball
|
And the echo of the rocks answering them immediately
|
|
|
|
|
Ach 's tìm dhomh bhith 'g èirigh 's bhith tèarnadh on àird
|
But it is time for me to arise and descend from the heights
|
|
Cha dèan luinneagan feum dhomh, cha dèan èigheach dhomh stà
|
Songs will not help me, shouting will be worthless
|
|
Feuch am bata fo còmhdach aig còmhnard na tràgh'd
|
See the ship under sail at the flat part of the beach
|
|
Tha gam ghiùlan null thairis a gleannan an àigh
|
Which is to carry me yonder from the happy, small glen
|
