English Translation

|
|
|
Gàir nan tonn gur trom an nuallan
|
Heavy is the crying and murmuring of the waves
|
|
Seirm am chluais do ghlòir
|
Ringing your praises in my ear
|
|
Dàn nam beann gach allt is fuaran
|
The poetry of the mountains is in every spring and burn
|
|
Siaradh nuas le'd cheol
|
Bearing your music down
|
|
'S tù gach làtha gun tàmh mo bhuaireadh
|
Every day is, without respite, provoking me
|
|
D'iargain bhuan gam leòn
|
And your eternal loss wounds me
|
|
'S tù gach oidhche chaoich mo bhruadar
|
You are my nightly dream forever
|
|
Gu Thìr Nan Òg
|
The Land of Youth
|
|
|
|
|
Bàs neo bròn cha bheo nad loinn fhir
|
Neither death nor sorrow can abide within you
|
|
Uir air foill 's air gò
|
Where all treachery and deceit are buried, overcome
|
|
Sair sior òl do dheo 's do chaoimhneis
|
Where the excellent ones partake of your sweet breath and benevolence
|
|
Aoibhneas snàmh 's na neoil
|
Joy swims in your firmament
|
|
Reultan airde latha sa dh'oidhche
|
And high stars, day and night
|
|
Boillsgeadh seamh troimh cheò
|
Shine peacefully through a mist
|
|
Teudan tlàtha fàs ad choilltean
|
While the gentle sound of strings rise from your woods
|
|
Gu Thìr Nan Òg
|
The Land of Youth
|
|
|
|
|
Cùl nan tonn tha long mo bhruadair
|
Behind the waves is the galley of my dreams
|
|
Fuaradh mar bu nòs
|
___
|
|
Rùn an Dàin a ghnàth ga gluasad
|
Fate's design moving her smoothly
|
|
Ciuin le luaths an eoin
|
With the speed of a bird
|
|
Iubraich Bhàin na fàg mi'm thruaghan
|
Lubhraich Bhain, do not abandon me, like a wretch
|
|
Taobh nan cuantan mòr
|
This side of the great oceans
|
|
Doimhne craidh is gràdh gam dhuanadh
|
Where the depth of my torment, and my love, mold and prepare me
|
|
Gu Tìr Nan Òg
|
For the Land of Youth
|
