Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
'Se do bheatha, Mhoire Mhaighdeann
|
Hail to thee, Virgin Mary
|
|
O 's gille do Mhac na a' ghrian
|
For thy son is brighter than the sun
|
|
Rugadh am Mac an aois Athar
|
The Son was born when His Father was aged
|
|
Oighre Fhlathanais g'ar dion
|
An Heir of Heaven to protect us
|
|
'S iosal an ceum thug ar Slànuighear
|
Our Savior took a lowly step
|
|
A nuas o Phàrras gu talamh
|
Down from Paradise to earth
|
|
'Nuair a rugadh E 's an stàbull
|
When He was born in a stable
|
|
Gun tuilleadh aite dha falamh
|
Nowhere else being vacant for Him
|
|
|
|
|
Cha d'iarr ban-righinn na h-ùmhlachd
|
The Queen of Humility asked for no
|
|
Fuirneiseachadh, rùm na seòmar
|
Furniture, parlor or room
|
|
Cha mhò dh'iarr i mnathan glùine
|
Neither did she ask for midwives
|
|
Ach Righ nan Dùl bhith 'ga còmhnadh
|
But only the King of the elements to help her
|
|
'S èibhinn an sealladh a fhuair i
|
Wonderful was the sight she saw
|
|
'Nuair thàinig E nuas a colainn
|
When He came down from her body
|
|
Rothall i'n anartaibh bàna
|
She wrapped in white clothes
|
|
An Slànuighear thàinig g'ar ceannach
|
The Savior who had come to redeem us
|
|
|
|
|
Cha d'iarr Macan na h-uaisle
|
The child of nobility asked for no
|
|
Cuision na cluasag na leabaidh
|
Cushion, pillow or bed
|
|
Gus an d'èirich leis a'mhàthair
|
'Til His mother managed
|
|
'Ga chur 's a' mhainnseir 'na chadal
|
To put him to sleep in the manger
|
|
Chruinnich na buachaillean bochda
|
The poor herdsmen assembled
|
|
Ghabhail beachd air anns an tìm sin
|
To see Him at that time
|
|
Chur misneach an lag 's an làidir
|
To encourage the weak and the strong
|
|
Bhith cho dàna air an Righ sin
|
To make equally bold with that King
|
|
|
|
|
Shoillsich rionnag anns an athar
|
A star shone in the sky
|
|
Rinn rathad dha na tri rìghrean
|
Making a path for the three kings
|
|
Thàinig 'ga ionnsuidh le h-àbhachd
|
Who came to Him with joy
|
|
Gaol is gràdh is fàilte is fìrinn
|
Love and affection, welcome and truth
|
|
Aig fheabhas rinn thu a ghlàidheadh
|
Because thou didst maintain Him so well
|
|
Dol leis a latha 's a dh'oidhche
|
Going with Him by day and by night
|
|
Aig fheabhas rinn thu air feitheamh
|
Because thou didst attend Him so well
|
|
'Se do bheatha Mhoire Mhaighdeann
|
Hail to thee, Virgin Mary
|
