|
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
'S ann an duigh tha'n deigh ort
|
It is today that you left me
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Chuir sinn crionn 'sa bhata
|
We put a mast into the boat
|
|
Dà là mu'n dh'fhàg sinn Eirinn
|
Two days before we left land
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Chuirr sinn na crionn ùr innte
|
We put the masts in her
|
|
'S gu'n d'fhuair sinn smuid na deigh leinn
|
And then we sailed off
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Cutteran a's gaidsearan
|
Cutters and excise men
|
|
Ga'r sarachadh le cheile
|
Annoying us
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Bha sinn 's a' Chuan-iar leatha
|
We were in the Atlantic with her
|
|
Mu'n d'rinn a ghrian ach èirigh
|
Before the sun had risen
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
'Nuair a dh'at an fhairge
|
When the sea grew rough
|
|
'Si 'n 'Earbag'a bha treubhach
|
The earbag was heroic
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Seachad Maol na h-Oa
|
Past Maol na h-Oa
|
|
Gun d'òl sinn air a chéile
|
We toasted each other
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'òl sinn slaint' an sgiobair nach
|
We drank a toast to the skipper
|
|
Robh idir anns an éisdeachd
|
Who was not with us
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Bha uisge 's clacha-meallainn ann
|
There were rain and hail stones
|
|
A's canvas g'a reubadh
|
And canvas ripping
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Bha sinn an Loch-Alainn
|
We were in Loch Alainn
|
|
Mu'n d'rinn ach pairt dhiudh éirigh
|
Before most were awake
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe
|
You are my sadness, blond boy
|
|
|
|
|
Mo thruaigh leir thu ille bhuidhe...
|
You are my sadness, blond boy...
