English Translation: |
| |
|
|
O gur mis' th'air mo chradh |
Oh I am sorely wounded |
|
Thuit mo chridhe gu lar |
My heart has sunk to the ground |
|
'S tric snighe gu'm shail o'm leirsinn |
And readily do my tears stream downward |
|
Dh'fhalbh mo chlaisinneachd bhuam |
My hearing has left me |
|
Cha chluinn mi 'san uair |
At this time I hear nothing |
|
Gu mall na gu luath ni's eibhinn |
Slow or swift, that is joyous |
| |
|
|
Mu Phrionns' Tearlach mu ruin |
Of beloved Prince Charlie |
|
Oighre dhligheach a' chruin |
The rightful heir to the crown |
|
'S e gun fhios gu de'n taobh an teid e |
He knows not which way to turn |
|
Fuil Rioghail nam buadh |
The virtuous royal blood |
|
Bhith 'ga diobairt 'san uair |
Being forsaken at this hour |
|
'S mac diolain le sluagh ag eirigh |
And a bastard son taking over by force |
| |
|
|
Siol nan cuilein a bha |
He was of a race of curs |
|
Gu ro-mhath chinnich an t-al |
Well has the litter come |
|
Chuir iad sinn ann an cas na h-eiginn |
They've put us with our backs to the wall |
|
Ged a bhuainnich sibh blar |
Although you won a battle |
|
Cha b'ann de'r cruadal a bha |
It was not by your hardihood |
|
Ach gun ar sluagh-ne bhith'n dail a cheile |
But that our host wasn't mustered together |
