Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Thoir tiodhlac aost |
Take an old gift |
|
Deòir màthar ghlan |
A mother's pure tears |
|
Is Thì ta còmhnaidh |
And He is living |
|
Am maise nur latha |
In the beauty of your day |
| |
|
|
Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Trobhadaidh is leanamaid |
Come and let us follow |
|
Dithis na bainnse mu chuairt an t-sluaigh |
The bridal couple among their guests |
|
Sìnibh sligh is dannsaibh gu crìch |
Stretch their path and dance until the end |
|
Trobhadaidh is leanamaid |
Come and let us follow |
|
Dithis na bainnse mu chuairt an t-sluaigh |
The bridal couple among their guests |
| |
|
|
Thoir tiodhlac ùr |
Take a new gift |
|
Latha do sheanmhar, glaist' |
Your grandmother's day, locked |
|
Anns na h-àrdaibh |
In the heavens |
|
A' tilleadh le mìle bàidh |
Returning with endless hospitality |
| |
|
|
Thoir tiodhlac 'r iasad |
Take a borrowed gift |
|
Bhon sgàthan uaine àigh |
From the green mirror of his soul |
|
Aisling oighreachd |
A vision of his heritage |
|
Ann an sùil do ghràidh |
In the eye of your love |
| |
|
|
Thoir tiodhlac ghorm |
Take a blue gift |
|
Cuan ciùin gun tràigh |
A calm, shoreless ocean |
|
Is òigh na mara |
And the young maiden of the sea |
|
Na siùil, bhur taghadh |
In her sails, your choice |
| |
|
|
Thi ta còmhnaidh anns na h-àrdaibh |
He who is living in the heavens |
|
Sùil do ghràidh air òigh na mara |
The eye of your love on the young maiden of the sea |
