|
|
|
Cluinnidh mi thar uchd na mara
|
I hear from the depth of the sea
|
|
Ard os cionn na gaoith ri gaillinn
|
High above the raging wind
|
|
Torman beag an cois a'chladaich
|
Soft murmuring on the shore
|
|
Mionaghallan na maighdinn Bharraich
|
The keening of the Barra maiden
|
|
|
|
|
Seachad Ciosmul a'chaisteil
|
Passing Ciosmul Castle
|
|
Eithrichean a' ruith le astar
|
Boats sail swiftly
|
|
Fàth mo bhròin tha aon tè
|
The reason for my sorrow
|
|
Dh'aindheoin m'ùrnaighean nach tìll gu acair
|
One of them will not return to anchor in spite of my prayers
|
|
|
|
|
Cha dean sinne ghaolaich chiataich
|
We, my gentle love
|
|
Mànran ri chòile gu siorruidh
|
Will never talk sweetly together
|
|
Gruagach na stuadh ghabh i miann ort
|
The maiden of the waves desired you
|
|
Shuain i cuailein ort na liaghain
|
She wrapped her hair of seaweed 'round you
|
|
|
|
|
Ionndrainn mo leannainn ga mo riasladh
|
Missing my sweetheart is torturing me
|
|
Mar fhraoch geamhraidh tha mi ciaradh
|
I am graying like the winter heather
|
|
Speireid beatha dh'fhalbh e, chrion e
|
The spirit of life is gone, decayed
|
|
Dh'fhalbh an gaol 's an òig gu siorruidh
|
Love and youth have gone forever
|
|
|
|
|
Cluinnidh mi thar uchd na mara
|
I hear from the depth of the sea
|
|
Ard os cionn na gaoith ri gaillinn
|
High above the raging wind
|
|
Torman beag an cois a'chladaich
|
Soft murmuring on the shore
|
|
Mionaghallan na maighdinn Bharraich
|
The keening of the Barra maiden
|
