|
|
|
Ach dh'fhalbh na seann nithean uainn
|
The old ways have gone away from us
|
|
'S tha nithean nuadha nan aite
|
And new things have come in their place
|
|
Tha cuid nach deach a-nùair chuan
|
Some that didn't go across the sea
|
|
Dhinn air cruadalach ri traigh
|
For us the hardship of the shore
|
|
|
|
|
Ach fhuair sinn naidheachd gu ar miann
|
But we have received news to our liking
|
|
A tha riaraicht le m' chail
|
That makes my appetite happy
|
|
Gu bheil frithean nam fiadh
|
That the deer forests/paths
|
|
Gan cur sios gus an làr
|
Are being destroyed
|
|
|
|
|
Duisgibh a luchd mo ghaoil
|
Wake up, people of my love
|
|
'S bithibh a-mach an tràths
|
And be out at this time
|
|
'S cuiribh teine ris an fhraoch
|
Put a fire to the heather
|
|
'S eiridh laoich 'na ur pairt
|
And arise each hero to his duty
|
|
|
|
|
Bidh Bail-ailein air ur ceann
|
Ballalan will be at your head
|
|
Gabhail suim dhe ur càs
|
Taking note of your difficulties
|
|
'S cha bhi leud a shròair chall
|
A hairs breadth will not be lost
|
|
Aig an t-sonn nach bi a-bhàn
|
By the hero who is absent
|
|
|
|
|
Cuiridh a Clach air a dhoigh
|
The Clach will organize
|
|
H-uile feorlaing the fas
|
Every bit that grows
|
|
Eadar seo is tigh Iain Ghròit
|
Between here and John O'groats
|
|
A bheir òr airson màil
|
That gives gold for rent
|
|
|
|
|
Gu bheil diulnach ro threun
|
There are brave men
|
|
An Dun-eideann à tàmh
|
Living in Edinburgh
|
|
Agus Dughall cho gleusd
|
And Dougie who is very skillful
|
|
Is cho eudmhor mu'r càs
|
And so considerate about our struggle
|
|
|
|
|
Ach dh'fhalbh na seann nithean uainn
|
The old ways have gone away from us
|
|
'S tha nithean nuadha nan aite
|
And new things have come in their place
|
|
Tha cuid nach deach a-nùair chuan
|
Some that didn't go across the sea
|
|
Dhinn air cruadalach ri traigh
|
For us the hardship of the shore
|
|

|
Ach dh'fhalbh na seann nithean uainn
|
The old ways have gone away from us
|
|
'S tha nithean nuadha nan aite
|
And new things have come in their place
|
