|
|
|
O mo dhùthaich 's tu th'air m'aire
|
Oh my country is on my mind
|
|
Uibhist chubhraidh ùr nan gallan
|
Fresh, fragrant Uist of the saplings
|
|
Far a faigh-te na daoin-uaisle
|
Where the noble men are found
|
|
Far'm bu dual do mhac ic Ailein
|
Who gave their hereditary allegiance to Mhic Ailean
|
|
|
|
|
Tìr a' mhurain, tìran eòrna
|
Land of sea-bed, land of barley
|
|
Tìr 's am pailt a ch-uile seorsa
|
Land of abundance of every kind
|
|
Far am bi na gillean òga
|
Where the young lads will be
|
|
Gabhail òran 's gol an leanna
|
Singing songs and drinking beer
|
|
|
|
|
Thig iad thugainn carach, seòlta
|
They will come to us with cunning
|
|
Gus ar mealladh far ar n-eòlais
|
In order to entice us from our homes
|
|
Molaidh iad dhuinn Manitoba
|
They will praise Manitoba to us
|
|
Dùthaich fhuar gun ghual, gun mhòine
|
A cold country with no coal or peat
|
|
|
|
|
Cha luig mi leas a bhith 'ga innse
|
I don't need to say it
|
|
Nuair a ruigear 's ann a chithear
|
That when we reach it we'll see it
|
|
Samhradh goirid, foghar sìtheil
|
A short summer and a peaceful autumn
|
|
Geamhradh fada na droch-shìde
|
A long winter of bad weather
|
|
|
|
|
Nam biodh agam fhin de stòras
|
If I had riches
|
|
Dà dheis aodaich, paidhear bhrògan
|
A change of clothes, a pair of shoes
|
|
Agus m' fharadh bhith 'nam phòca
|
A prayer in my pocket
|
|
'S ann air Uibhist dhèanainn seòladh
|
It is to Uist I would be saying
|
|
|
|
|
O mo dhùthaich 's tu th'air m'aire
|
Oh my country is on my mind
|
|
Uibhist chubhraidh ùr nan gallan
|
Fresh, fragrant Uist of the saplings
|
|
Far a faigh-te na daoin-uaisle
|
Where the noble men are found
|
|
Far'm bu dual do mhac ic Ailein
|
Who gave their hereditary allegiance to Mhic Ailean
|
