Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
O nach robh mi thall
|
Oh that I were
|
|
'S a' ghleann a' fuireach
|
Living in the glen
|
|
O nach robh mi thall
|
Oh that I were
|
|
An Glean Baile Chaoil
|
Over in Gleann Baile Chaoil
|
|
Nan robh mise thall
|
If I were living
|
|
'S a' ghleann a' fuireach
|
Over in the glen
|
|
Chan fhàgainn e tuilleadh
|
I would never leave it again
|
|
Glean lurach mo ghaoil
|
My beautiful, beloved glen
|
|
|
|
|
Nuair dh' éireas a' ghrian
|
When the sun rises on it
|
|
Air bu chiatach bhith ann
|
Delightful it is to be there
|
|
'Si cho fial flathail coibh-neil
|
And the sun, so liberally
|
|
A' boillsgeadh air chrann
|
Gracefully and warmly shining on the trees
|
|
I dùsgadh nan lòn-dubh
|
Awakening the blackbirds
|
|
'S nan smeòrach air ghéig
|
And thrushes on branches
|
|
Chur fàilte l'en ceòl
|
To proclaim with their music
|
|
Air a mórachd 'san speur
|
Its majesty in the heavens
|
|
|
|
|
'S a' mhadainn 'n uair dh' eirinn
|
In the morning when I'd arise
|
|
Gun eislean gun ghruaim
|
Without worry or discontent
|
|
'S e thug solas do m'inntinn
|
What brought happiness to my mind
|
|
Bhith sealltainn riut suas
|
Was to look up towards you
|
|
Chaneil glean eil' air Gaidhealtachd
|
There is no other glen in the Highlands
|
|
Bheir barr ort an snuadh
|
To match you in appearance
|
|
Gur mis ha fo chradh-lot
|
It is I who is dejected
|
|
Bhith 'n drasd cho fad uait
|
Presently being so far from you
|
