Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan
|
Early on Monday she took to sea
|
|
Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan
|
Early on Monday she took to sea
|
|
|
|
|
Moch Di-luain an deidh Di-domhnaich
|
Early on Monday, after the Sabbath
|
|
Sheol i a Steornabhagh a' chaisteil
|
She sailed from Stornoway of the Castle
|
|
Gillean gasda air a bord
|
Kindly youths on board
|
|
G' a cumail doigheil anns a' chala
|
Keeping her in order in the harbor
|
|
|
|
|
Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan
|
Early on Monday she took to sea
|
|
Iubhrach a' ghluasaid ealaimh
|
The boat was hewn from yew, moving swiftly
|
|
Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan
|
Early on Monday she took to sea
|
|
(2x)
|
(2x)
|
|
|
|
|
Rachadh i cho glan an ordugh
|
It was easy to spruce her up
|
|
Ri mnaoi oig a' dol gu banais
|
Like a young maiden going to a wedding
|
|
Nuair a chuartaich sinn an Tiompan
|
When we rounded Tiumpan Head
|
|
'S i bha sunndach, 's muir 'na meallan
|
The ship was lively, with high waves on the sea
|
|
|
|
|
Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan...
|
Early on Monday she took to sea...
|
