English Translation: |
|
|
Gur ann an America |
We are now |
Tha sinn an drasd' |
In America |
Fo dhubhar na coille |
In the shade |
Nach teirig gu brath |
Of the never-ending forest |
'N uair dh'fhalbhas an dulachd |
When winter departs |
'S a thionndaigh's am blaths |
And warmth returns |
Bithidh cnothan, bith ubhlan |
Nuts, apples |
'S bithidh an siuca a fas |
And sugar will grow |
|
|
Thoir mo shoraidh le failte |
Bear my farewell and greeting |
Chinn t-Saile nam bo |
To Kintail and cattle |
Far 'n d'fhuair mi greis m'drach |
Where I spent my time of upbringing |
'S mi'm phaisde beag og |
When I was a young child |
Bhiodh fleasgaichean donn |
There dark-haired lads |
Air bonnaibh ri ceol |
Would dance heel and toe to the music |
Agus nionogan dualach |
And lassies with flowing tresses |
'S an gruaidh mar an ros |
And cheeks like the rose |
