Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
An ataireachd bhuan |
The ceaseless surge |
|
Cluinn fuiam na h-ataireachd ard |
Listen to the surge of the sea |
|
Tha torunn a'chuain |
The thunder of the ocean |
|
Mar chualas leams' e'n am phaisd |
As I heard it when I was a child |
|
Gun mhuthadh gun truas |
Without change, without pity |
|
A' sluaisreadh gainneimh na tragh'd |
Breaking on the sand of the beach |
|
An ataireachd bhuan |
The ceaseless surge |
|
Cluinn fuiam na h-ataireachd ard |
Listen to the surge of the sea |
| |
|
|
'S na coilltean a siar |
In the woods of the west |
|
Cha 'n iarrain fuireach gu brath |
I would not want to remain forever |
|
Bha m'inntinn 's mo mhainn |
My mind and my desire |
|
A riamh air lagan a' bhaigh |
Were always on the little hollow by the bay |
|
Ach iadsan bha fial, an gniomh |
But those folk who were generous in affection |
|
An caidreamh, 's an agh |
In their happiness and in their acts |
|
Air sgapadh gun dion |
Have been scattered defenseless |
|
Mar thriallas ealtainn roimh namh |
As a flock of birds flees in front of their enemy |
| |
|
|
Ach siubhlaidh mi uat |
But I'll depart from you |
|
Cha ghluais mi tuilleadh 'n ad dhail |
I'll not move any more to meet you |
|
Tha m'aois 'us mo shnuadh |
My age and my appearance |
|
Toirt luaidh air giorrad mo la |
Give an account of the shortness of my day |
|
An am dhomh bhi suainnt' |
At the time that I am wrapped |
|
Am fuachd 's an cadal a' bhais |
In the cold slumber of death |
|
Mo leabaidh dean suas |
My bed make up |
|
Ri fuaim na h-ataireachd ard |
Behind the sound of the sea |
| |
|
|
Na h-ataireachd ard |
The surge of the sea |
|
Mo leabaidh dean suas |
My bed make up |
|
Ri fuaim na h-ataireachd ard |
Behind the sound of the sea |
|
Mo leabaidh dean suas |
My bed make up |
|
Ri fuaim na h-ataireachd ard |
Behind the sound of the sea |
|
Na h-ataireachd ard |
The surge of the sea |
