|
|
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
'S mi air m'aineoil anns a'ghleann
|
For in the glen I am a stranger
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Righ nach fhaicinn an Cuan Barrach
|
If only the seas of Barra
|
|
Doirteadh thar bharraibh nam beann
|
Would pour down these hillsides
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Iubraich bhain na diult dhomh 'n t-aiseag
|
Ship of white, do not refuse to ferry me
|
|
Cha toir cas mi dh'Innis Gall
|
I cannot walk to the Western Islands
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'fhuarainn Eige agus Canaidh
|
I'd pass to windward of Eigg and Canna
|
|
Null gu Barradh ghlas nan tonn
|
Over to gray Barra of the waves
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Is trom an ionndrain th'air mo shiubhal
|
In my heart I'm heavy with longing
|
|
Cha tog fidheall e no cainnt
|
No fiddle nor speech will ease my burden
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Fuaim na h-abh 'gam shior-eigheachd
|
The sound of the ocean ever calling
|
|
Thugainn m'eudail gu d'thir dhaimh
|
Come back, my dearest, to your homeland
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Oh ghrein ud shuas, gur beag an t-iongnadh
|
Oh sun above, 'tis little wonder
|
|
Gloir na faoilte bhith mu d'cheann
|
The glory of joy that does surround you
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Thu a'triall o'n ghleann 's an oidhche
|
Moving from the glen at evening
|
|
Null gu coibhneas a'chuain thall
|
O'er to the kind and distant ocean
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
Ach pogaidh tusa nochd Cuan Bharraidh
|
Tonight you'll kiss the sea of Barra
|
|
'S mis' fo bharraibh chruaidh nam beann
|
While I'm below unfriendly mountains
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
|
|
|
|
'S mi air m'aineoil anns a'ghleann
|
For in the glen I am a stranger
|
|
Fath mo mhulaid a bhith ann
|
Being here has caused my sorrow
|
