English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Chaneil mo shul air Calbharaigh |
My eye is not on Calvary |
|
No air Bethlehem an aigh |
Or on blessed Bethlehem |
|
Ach air cuil ghrod an Glaschu |
But on a putrid back alley in Glasgow |
|
Far a bheil an lobhadh fas |
Where everything rots as it grows |
|
Agus air seomar an Duneidin |
And on a room in Edinburgh |
|
Seomar bochdain is craidh |
A room of poverty and suffering |
|
Far a bheil an aoghainn creachdainn |
Where the infant, all scabs and sores |
|
Ri aonagraich gu bhas |
Wallows 'til death |
|
(2x) |
(2x) |
| |
|
|
Chaneil mo shul air Calbharaigh |
My eye is not on Calvary |
|
No air Bethlehem an aigh |
Or on blessed Bethlehem |
|
Ach air cuil ghrod an Glaschu |
But on a putrid back alley in Glasgow |
|
Far a bheil an lobhadh fas |
Where everything rots as it grows |
