English Translation: |
| |
|
|
A Mhaighdeann as gile |
Oh purest of creatures |
|
A Mhoire mhìn mhàthair |
Sweet Mother, sweet Maid |
|
Nad chomsa na aonar |
The one spotless womb |
|
Bha 'n Slànair a' tamh |
Wherein Jesus was laid |
|
Tha 'n oidhche, a Mhoire |
Dark night, mother |
|
Air tuiteam mun cuairt |
Hath come down on us |
|
Nach nochd thu do shoillse |
And we look out for thy shining |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain? |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
| |
|
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
|
Nach nochd thu do shoillse |
And we look out for thy shining |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain? |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
| |
|
|
Tha 'n oidhche le neulaibh |
Deep night hath come down |
|
A' còmhdach an t-saoghail |
On this rough-spoken world |
|
Tha bratach an dorchadais |
And the banners of darkness |
|
Sgaoilt' anns a' ghaoith |
Are boldly unfurled |
|
Tha 'n Eaglais ga buaireadh |
And the tempest-tossed Church |
|
'S tha sùil coimhead suas |
All her eyes are on thee |
|
Nach nochd thu do shoillse |
They look to thy shining |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain? |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
| |
|
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
|
Nach nochd thu do shoillse |
They look to thy shining |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain? |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
| |
|
|
Bu lèir do Mhac Dè d'anam |
He gazed on thy soul |
|
Geal 's e gun bheud |
It was spotless and fair |
|
'S nach tàinig am peacadh |
For the empire of sin |
|
Na chòir ghabhail seilbh |
It had never been there |
|
Cha d' bhuin e bho thùs |
None had e'er owned thee |
|
Ach don Tighearna 's uaisl' |
Dear Mother, but He |
|
Is choisrig e d' shoillse |
And He blessed thy clear shining |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
| |
|
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
|
Is choisrig e d' shoillse |
And He blessed thy clear shining |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
| |
|
|
An talamh cha tug |
Earth gave Him one lodging |
|
Ach aon fhasgadh do Dhia |
'Twas deep in thy breast |
|
Am fasgadh sin crìdh' |
And God found a home |
|
Na h-Òigh' beannaichte, fial |
Where the sinner finds rest |
|
Bha fàrdach Mhic Dhè |
His home and His hiding place |
|
Agus fasgadh nan truagh |
Both were in thee |
|
An soillse do chrìdh'sa |
He was won by thy shining |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
| |
|
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
|
Nach nochd thu do shoillse |
And we look out for thy shining |
|
Reul àlainn a' Chuain? |
Sweet Star of the Sea |
