|
|
|
Tha mi tinn 's mi ri caoidh mo dhòchais
|
I am ill, mourning the loss of hope
|
|
Nochd 'san raoir 's fad na h-oidhche mhò-raoir
|
This night, last night, and all through the night before
|
|
Do chòmhradh meallta 'sa gheamradh dhòmhsa
|
Your deceptive talk to me over winter
|
|
Chuir falt mo chinn dha na toill na dhlòthan
|
Has led to bunches of hair falling out
|
|
|
|
|
Bha mi'm oidhch' ud 'smi aig an teine
|
One evening by the fire
|
|
'S bu tu an luaisgean a bha air m'aire
|
You were the restlessness in my mind
|
|
Nuair a chuala mi fuaim an dorais
|
When I heard the sound of the door
|
|
'S e air a ghluasd aig fear uallach baile
|
Pushed open by a village messenger
|
|
|
|
|
Theireadh cach rium nach robh thu ciallach
|
They told me that you had no sense
|
|
Gun robh 'g-òl 's nach bu mhòr a b'fhiach thu
|
That you drank, and was of little worth
|
|
Stad a ghraidh cha ro ann ach briagan
|
Stop, I know it to be lies
|
|
Se mise b'eolaich bhon t-òige riamh ort
|
For it was I who always knew you best of all
|
|
|
|
|
Bha do chairdean toirt tàir is beul dhomh
|
Your kinsfolk despised me, taunted me
|
|
Airson a ghraidh gun tug mi mo spèis dhut
|
For my fondness for you
|
|
Faodaidh iadsan bhith sàmhach 's eisdeachd
|
They may as well stay silent and listen
|
|
Far an laigh an gràdh, cha chuir càil bho cheill e
|
For when love chooses where to lie, it cannot be undone
|
|
|
|
|
Bha mo chairdean iad orm ag iarraidh
|
My own kin implored me
|
|
An gaol a thug mi a chuir air diochuimhn'
|
To forget my love for you
|
|
Ach bha sin dhaibhsan a cheart cho diomhuinn
|
But to wish that was as idle as to expect
|
|
Ri muir-làn a thraghadh 's muir tràigh a lionadh
|
The flow-tide to ebb or the ebb-tide to flow
|
