English Translation

|
|
|
|
|
Tha mise dol a dh'inns
|
I will tell
|
|
Dhan a h-uile neach a chì mi
|
Everyone I see
|
|
Mu thimcheall a nì
|
About what
|
|
Rinn mo leònadh
|
Has wounded me
|
|
Mu thimcheall mo mhac gràdhach
|
About my beloved son
|
|
Chaidh dhachaidh mios na Màirte
|
Who passed on in the month of March
|
|
Cha dèan e chaoidh
|
He will never
|
|
Gu bràth riumsa còmhradh
|
Again talk with me
|
|
|
|
|
Bha thu agam fhèin
|
I regarded you
|
|
Mar na h-ùbhlan air na geugan
|
As the apple on the branches
|
|
Mar na ròsan a b' àlainn
|
As the roses, most beautiful
|
|
'S bu bhòidheach
|
Most wonderful
|
|
Cha deanadh sin dhuinn feum
|
None of that was of any use
|
|
Nuair thàinig glaodh nan neamhan
|
When the call from heaven came
|
|
Dha feum sinn gu lèir
|
To which all of us
|
|
Uile còrdadh
|
Must submit
|
|
|
|
|
Nuair bhios càch gu suaimhneach
|
When all the others are peacefully
|
|
Nam cadal air a' chuasaig
|
Sleeping on the pillow
|
|
Bidh mo ghruaidhean
|
My cheeks are
|
|
Fliuch le na deòirean
|
Wet with tears
|
|
Tha m' aigne fhèin car uair ann
|
My spirit is at times
|
|
An Aignish ud shuas
|
Up there in Aignish
|
|
'S an uair eil
|
And at other times
|
|
Air chuairt a Manitòba
|
Wandering in Manitoba
|
|
|
|
|
Do cho aoisean, a' ghràidh
|
Your contemporaries, my dear
|
|
'S iad a' tachairt rium gach là
|
I meet every day
|
|
'S cha bhi mo bhalach
|
And they do not make mention
|
|
Àlainn nan còmhradh
|
Of my wonderful boy
|
|
'S na nithean sin a tha
|
Situations like these
|
|
Dha mo thruaileadh ris an làir
|
Drag me down
|
|
Ach cumaidh deas laimh
|
But the right hand
|
|
Ard Rìgh mo threoir rium
|
Of the High King will sustain my strength
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'fhag thu sinne cràiteach
|
You left all of us
|
|
Gach neach a tha san àite
|
Desolate here
|
|
Nuair dh'fhalbh thu thar sàile
|
When you went across the sea
|
|
Bhuain nad òige
|
When you were young
|
|
Ach 's e naidheachd chruaidh do bhàis
|
But the harsh news
|
|
A fhuair mi nam mo làmhan
|
Of your death came to me
|
|
'S nach iongantach
|
It is strange
|
|
Nach do dh'fhaluing mo threòr-sa
|
That my strength did not completely fail me
|
|
|
|
|
Ni mi nis co-dhùnadh
|
I shall now conclude
|
|
Ged tha mo chridhe tùrsach
|
Although my heart is sorrowful
|
|
'S nach urrainn dhomh
|
And I cannot do
|
|
Do chliù chur an òrdugh
|
Your character justice
|
|
Ged tha iomadh mìle sàil
|
Although many miles of sea
|
|
Eadar mi 's far bheil thu tàmh
|
Lie between me and where you are at rest
|
|
Tha mise dh'oidhch' sa làth
|
I am there always
|
|
Ann a còmhnaidh
|
Night and day
|
