English Translation

|
|
|
Chaneil mo shul air Calbharaigh
|
My eye is not on Calvary
|
|
No air Bethlehem an aigh
|
Or on blessed Bethlehem
|
|
Ach air cuil ghrod an Glaschu
|
But on a putrid back alley in Glasgow
|
|
Far a bheil an lobhadh fas
|
Where everything rots as it grows
|
|
Agus air seomar an Duneidin
|
And on a room in Edinburgh
|
|
Seomar bochdain is craidh
|
A room of poverty and suffering
|
|
Far a bheil an aoghainn creachdainn
|
Where the infant, all scabs and sores
|
|
Ri aonagraich gu bhas
|
Wallows 'til death
|
|
(2x)
|
(2x)
|
|
|
|
|
Chaneil mo shul air Calbharaigh
|
My eye is not on Calvary
|
|
No air Bethlehem an aigh
|
Or on blessed Bethlehem
|
|
Ach air cuil ghrod an Glaschu
|
But on a putrid back alley in Glasgow
|
|
Far a bheil an lobhadh fas
|
Where everything rots as it grows
|
