English Translation
:
|
|
|
|
|
Nach mis' tha gu trom
|
My heart is heavy
|
|
Glas chiamhaig nam cheann
|
My hair is turning gray
|
|
Tha mi brist', tha mi aonranach brònach
|
I am broken, lonely and sad
|
|
Oir tha màthair mo chloinn
|
For the mother of my children
|
|
Bean mo ghaoil is mo mhnaoi
|
The woman I loved, my wife
|
|
Anns a' chladh air an Aoidh fo na fòidean
|
Lies buried in the graveyard at Eye
|
|
|
|
|
Cha thuig duine gu bràth
|
No one could ever understand
|
|
Meud mo mhulaid 's mo chràdh
|
The extent of my grief and pain
|
|
Tha mo chlann air am fàgail gun mhàthair
|
My children have been left motherless
|
|
Chan eil madainn no oidhch'
|
No morning or night passes
|
|
Nach bi mi ga caoidh
|
Without my lamenting her
|
|
Air a son shil mi deòirean gun nàire
|
Without embarrassment, I have shed tears for her
|
|
|
|
|
Tha an sgiath a bha blàth
|
The wing which was warm
|
|
Air a càradh 's na clàir
|
Is buried in the coffin-boards
|
|
'S bha do bhàs dhuinn mar deireadh an t-saoighail
|
And your death was like the end of our world
|
|
Oir tha'n dachaigh 'bha blàth
|
For the home which was warm
|
|
Lan gaol agus gràdh
|
And full of love has been plundered
|
|
Air a creachadh, 's na ballan air sgaoileadh
|
And the walls have been destroyed
|
|
|
|
|
Cha teid mionaid do bhàis
|
I will never forget
|
|
As mo chuimhne gu bràth
|
The moment of your death
|
|
Bha do chlann air do chùram nad éiginn
|
Your children nursed you in your suffering
|
|
Nuair a dhùin mi do shùil
|
When I closed your eyes
|
|
Bu ro bhòidheach do ghnùis
|
Your face was so beautiful
|
|
Mar an ròs fon an driùchd anns a' Chéitein
|
Like a dew-decked May rose
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mi cinnteach, a luaidh
|
I am certain, my love
|
|
Gu bheil thu 'm Pàrras ud shuas
|
That you are in Paradise above
|
|
Tha na dh' fhuiling thu nis air do chùlaibh
|
All you suffered is now behind you
|
|
Gus an dùin mi mo shùil
|
Until I close my eyes
|
|
Anns a' chadal nach dùisg
|
In eternal slumber
|
|
Ga d' ionndrainn bi mi, is toirt cliù dhuit
|
I will miss you, and praise you
|
