|
|
Mi le m'uilinn air mo ghluin

With my elbow on my knee

'Smuladach mi deanamh dain

I am overcome by sadness whilst making this poem

Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Shil mo shuil nuair chaidh siuil
|
Tears fell from my eyes when he left under sail
|
|
Ri croinn-ura chaol ard
|
As the tall mast grew small
|
|
Righ, 'smo run-sa nam bard
|
It is my intention
|
|
|
|
|
Dearcam fhathast air mo ghaol
|
A glimpse of my love
|
|
Coiseachd air slat-chaol fo sheol
|
Walking on board the deck beneath the sails
|
|
|
|
|
Seid seimh, socair, o Ghaoth Tuath
|
Oh North Wind, blow gently
|
|
Gus an cuir i Cluaidh as fair
|
Until he reaches the waters of the Clyde
|
|
|
|
|
Gheall a Pillidh mis, a ghraidh
|
A promise that I will not forget my love
|
|
Buidhe nuair ni fas an t-earn
|
In rescue it will increase
|
|
|
|
|
Aiseig fallain o Ghaoth Tuath
|
Oh North Wind, bring him
|
|
Dhachaidh dhanh mo luaidh slan
|
Home in good health
|
