Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Gur a mis tha fo mhulad |
It is I that is so sad |
|
Air tulaich na h-airidh |
On the hill by the sheiling |
| |
|
|
Sčist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Ho o ro o hug o o |
Ho o ro o hug o o |
|
Falabh o ro ho o na liu |
Falabh o ro ho o na liu |
|
Ho o ro o liu lo o |
Ho o ro o liu lo o |
| |
|
|
'S mi 'g amharc nan gillean |
Watching the young men |
|
Air a linnidh gam bathadh |
Drowing in the Sound |
| |
|
|
Mo thriuir bhraithrean is m' athair |
My three brothers and my father |
|
Fear mo thighe se chraidh mi |
But worst of all the loss of my husband |
| |
|
|
Bas Aonghuis a Barraidh |
The death of Angus of Barra |
|
A sgar mi 's a chraidh mi |
Has broken and destroyed me |
| |
|
|
Bhith gad thogail on tiurra |
You being lifted from the water's edge |
|
Far 'n do bhruchd a' mhuir lan thu |
Where the sea had cast you |
| |
|
|
Bhi gad ghiulain aig fearaibh |
You being carried by men |
|
Gu baile na traghad |
To the village by the beach |
| |
|
|
Gu Eaglais na Triannaid |
To the Church of the Trinity |
|
Far am bu lionmhor do chairdean |
Where there are plenty of your relations |
| |
|
|
'S ann air latha Fheill-Bride |
It was on the feast of St. Bride |
|
Fhuair mi 'n dinneir a chraidh mi |
I had the dinner that crushed me |
| |
|
|
Ged bu shunndach dhomh 'n Nollaig |
Although Christmas was a joyful time for me |
|
Bu neo-thoilicht a' Chaisg dhomh |
Easter was full of sadness |
| |
|
|
'S truagh a Dhia mar tha mise |
Oh God, how miserable I am |
|
Bean gun mhisneachd gu brath mi |
A wife without cheer forever |
| |
|
|
Te gun mhac, gun fhear taighe |
One without son, without husband |
|
Te gun aighear gun slainte |
One without joy, without health |
