English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Ma's ann 'gam mhealladh, a ghaoil, a bha thu |
If deceiving me, oh love, thou wert |
|
Ma's ann 'gam mhealladh as deigh do gheallaidh |
If deceiving me despite thy vow |
|
'Se luaidh do mholaidh ni mi gu brath |
Yet chant thy praise I ever will |
|
Ma's ann 'gam mhealladh, a ghaoil, a bha thu |
If deceiving me, oh love, thou wert |
| |
|
|
Righ, gur mise tha gu tursach |
Oh King, I am the sorrowful one |
|
Gaol an iarla 'ga mo chiurradh |
And the love of the Earl a-hurting me |
|
Tha na deoir a'sior-ruith o m' shuilean |
The tears are ever running from mine eyes |
|
'S mo chridhe bruite le guin do ghraidh |
And my heart is bruised with the sting of thy love |
|
Ma's ann 'gam mhealladh, a ghaoil, a bha thu |
If deceiving me, oh love, thou wert |
| |
|
|
Bha mi raoir leat 'na mo bhruadar |
Last night I was with thee in my dream |
|
Thall an Diura nam beann fuara |
Across in Jura of the cold bens |
|
Bha do phogan mar bhiolair uaine |
Thy kisses were like the green water-cresses |
|
Ach dh'fhalbh am bruadar is dh'fhan an cradh |
Fled the dream, remained the pain |
|
Ma's ann 'gam mhealladh, a ghaoil, a bha thu |
If deceiving me, oh love, thou wert |
| |
|
|
Thig, a ghaoil agus duin mo shuilean |
Come, oh love, and close my eyes |
|
'S a' chiste-chaoil far nach dean mi dusgadh |
In the narrow kirst where I shall never awake |
|
Cuir a sios mi an duslach Diurach |
Lay me down under earth from Jura |
|
Oir 's ann 's an uir a ni mise tamh |
In the grave alone is there rest for me |
|
Ma's ann 'gam mhealladh, a ghaoil, a bha thu |
If deceiving me, oh love, thou wert |
