A Mhic Iain 'Ic Sheumais |
Son of John, son of James |
|
Tha do sgeul air m'aire |
Your story is on my mind |
|
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
|
Latha Blàr na Feithe |
The Battle day of Feithe |
|
Bha feum air mo leanabh |
My child was in need |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
| |
|
|
Latha Blàr na Feithe |
The day of Battle Feithe |
|
Bha feum air mo leanabh |
My child was in need |
|
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
|
Latha Blar a' Chèithein |
The day of Battle Ceitein |
|
Bha do lèine ballach |
Then your shirt was stained |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
| |
|
|
Latha Blar a' Chèithein |
The day of Battle Ceitein |
|
Bha do lèine ballach |
Then your shirt was stained |
|
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
|
Bha fuil do chuirp uasail |
Your noble body's blood |
|
Air uachdar an fhearainn |
Lying on the ground |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
| |
|
|
Bha fuil do chuirp uasail |
Your noble body's blood |
|
Air uachdar an fhearainn |
Lying on the ground |
|
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
|
Bha fuil do chuim chùbhraidh |
Your sweet body's blood |
|
A' drùidheadh tron anart |
Through the linen was soaking |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
| |
|
|
Bha fuil do chuim chùbhraidh |
Your sweet body's blood |
|
A' drùidheadh tron anart |
Through the linen was soaking |
|
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
|
Bha mise ga sùghadh |
Sucking it was I |
|
Gus na thùch air m'anail |
'Til I choked for breath |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
| |
|
|
Bha mise ga sùghadh |
Sucking it was I |
|
Gus na thùch air m'anail |
'Til I choked for breath |
|
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
Air fair al ill eo, air fair al ill eo |
|
Mu Mhac Iain 'ic Sheumais |
Son of John, son of James |
|
Duine treubhach smearail |
Man of courage strong |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o hi i eileadh |
|
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
Hi ho hi ri ibh o ro hao o hi ho |
