English Translation

|
|
|
Ma thèid thu Lag nan Cruachan
|
Should you go to Lag nan Cruachan
|
|
Dèan innsidh dhaibh mur cual' iad e
|
Do tell them unless they have heard
|
|
Gur ann air moch Diluain, le ghaoth
|
That it was early on Monday morning
|
|
Thuath a rinn sinn sèoladh
|
With a north wind we sailed
|
|
|
|
|
Nuair dh'fhag sinn a mach Grianaig
|
When we left from Greenock
|
|
Bha ceò is fiath nan ian againn
|
We had mist and calm weather
|
|
'S ged chuir sinn h-uile stiall oirre
|
And although every stitch of sail was hoisted
|
|
Cha dèanadh i dhuinn crònan
|
She would hardly move for us
|
|
|
|
|
'N sin fhuair sinn mar a b'àill leinn i
|
Later it was as we would wish it
|
|
Is chroch sinn na siùil arda rithe
|
And we hoisted the top-sails
|
|
Nuair chuimhnich mi mo mhàthair
|
When I remembered my mother
|
|
Bhith ga fàgail bha mi brònach
|
Leaving her, I was sad
|
|
|
|
|
Diardaoin bha latha b'eibhinn ann
|
On Thursday we had a good day
|
|
Ri taobh an fhearainn Eireannaich
|
Beside the Irish land
|
|
'S i again mar a dh'fheumamaid
|
And sufficient wind for us
|
|
Tighinn as ar dèidh le sòlas
|
Joyfully following us
|
|
|
|
|
Ma thèid thu Lag nan Cruachan
|
Should you go to Lag nan Cruachan
|
|
Dèan innsidh dhaibh mur cual' iad e
|
Do tell them unless they have heard
|
|
Gur ann air moch Diluain, le ghaoth
|
That it was early on Monday morning
|
|
Thuath a rinn sinn sèoladh
|
With a north wind we sailed
|
