Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
An ataireachd bhuan |
The everlasting swelling |
|
Cluinn fuam na h-ataireachd ard |
Hear the sound of the high swelling |
|
Tha torann a chuain mar |
The roar of the sea |
|
Chualas leamsa 'nam phaisd |
Is as was heard by me as a child |
|
Gun mhuthadh gun truas |
Without change, without pity |
|
A' sluaisreadh gainneamh na tragh'd |
Shovelling the sand of the shore |
|
An ataireachd bhuan |
The everlasting swelling |
|
Cluinn fuam na h-ataireachd ard |
Hear the sound of the high swelling |
| |
|
|
Ach siubhlaidh mi uat |
But I'll depart from you |
|
Cha ghluais mi tuilleadh 'nad dhail |
I'll not move any more to meet you |
|
Tha m'aois is mo shnuadh |
My age and my appearance |
|
Toirt luaidh air giorrad mo latha |
Give an account of the shortness of my day |
|
'San am dhomh bhith suaint' |
At the time that I am wrapped |
|
Am fuachd's an cadal a' bhais |
In the cold slumber of death |
|
Mo leabaidh dean suas |
My bed make up behind |
|
Ri fuaim na h-ataireachd aird |
The sound of the sea |
