'S mi 'g amharc nan gillean

Watching the young men
|
|
Air a linnidh gam bathadh

Drowing in the Sound

Mo thriuir bhraithrean is m' athair

My three brothers and my father

Fear mo thighe se chraidh mi
|
But worst of all the loss of my husband
|
|
|
|
|
Bas Aonghuis a Barraidh
|
The death of Angus of Barra
|
|
A sgar mi 's a chraidh mi
|
Has broken and destroyed me
|
|
|
|
|
Bhith gad thogail on tiurra
|
You being lifted from the water's edge
|
|
Far 'n do bhruchd a' mhuir lan thu
|
Where the sea had cast you
|
|
|
|
|
Bhi gad ghiulain aig fearaibh
|
You being carried by men
|
|
Gu baile na traghad
|
To the village by the beach
|
|
|
|
|
Gu Eaglais na Triannaid
|
To the Church of the Trinity
|
|
Far am bu lionmhor do chairdean
|
Where there are plenty of your relations
|
|
|
|
|
'S ann air latha Fheill-Bride
|
It was on the feast of St. Bride
|
|
Fhuair mi 'n dinneir a chraidh mi
|
I had the dinner that crushed me
|
|
|
|
|
Ged bu shunndach dhomh 'n Nollaig
|
Although Christmas was a joyful time for me
|
|
Bu neo-thoilicht a' Chaisg dhomh
|
Easter was full of sadness
|
|
|
|
|
'S truagh a Dhia mar tha mise
|
Oh God, how miserable I am
|
|
Bean gun mhisneachd gu brath mi
|
A wife without cheer forever
|
|
|
|
|
Te gun mhac, gun fhear taighe
|
One without son, without husband
|
|
Te gun aighear gun slainte
|
One without joy, without health
|
