English Translation: |
| |
|
|
Mi le m'uilinn air mo ghluin |
With my elbow on my knee |
|
'Smuladach mi deanamh dain |
I am overcome by sadness whilst making this poem |
| |
|
|
Sčist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Shil mo shuil nuair chaidh siuil |
Tears fell from my eyes when he left under sail |
|
Ri croinn-ura chaol ard |
As the tall mast grew small |
|
Righ, 'smo run-sa nam bard |
It is my intention |
| |
|
|
Dearcam fhathast air mo ghaol |
A glimpse of my love |
|
Coiseachd air slat-chaol fo sheol |
Walking on board the deck beneath the sails |
| |
|
|
Seid seimh, socair, o Ghaoth Tuath |
Oh North Wind, blow gently |
|
Gus an cuir i Cluaidh as fair |
Until he reaches the waters of the Clyde |
| |
|
|
Gheall a Pillidh mis, a ghraidh |
A promise that I will not forget my love |
|
Buidhe nuair ni fas an t-earn |
In rescue it will increase |
| |
|
|
Aiseig fallain o Ghaoth Tuath |
Oh North Wind, bring him |
|
Dhachaidh dhanh mo luaidh slan |
Home in good health |
