1
Ged tha mo cheann air liathadh,
2
Le deuchainnean is bron,
3
Is grian mo leth-cheud bliadhna
4
Air ciaradh for na neoil;
5
Tha m' aigne air an lionadh
6
Le iarrtas tha ro mhor,
7
A dh'fhaicinn Eilean Sgiathach
8
Na siantanan 's a' cheo.
9
Tha corr 's da fhichead bliadhna
10
Bho' thriall mi uait gam' dheoin.
11
's a chuir mi sios mo lion
12
Ann am meadhon baile mhoir;
13
Is ged a fhuair mi iasgair
14
A lion mo thaigh le stor,
15
Bu chuimhneachail mi riamh ort
16
's bu mhiann leam bhi 'nad choir.
17
Ach co aig a bheil cluasan
18
No cridh' tha gluasad beo,
19
Nach seinneadh leam an duan seo
20
Mu' truaigh' a thainig oirnn?
21
Na milltean a chaidh fhuadach
22
Thar chuain gun chuid, 's gun choir,
23
Tha miann an cridh' 's an smuaintean
24
Air Eilean uain' a' Cheo.
25
Nis, cuimhnichibh ur cruadal,
26
Is cumaibh suas ur srol;
27
Gu' teid an roth mu' cuairt duibh
28
Le neart is cruas nan dorn;
29
Gum bi bhur crodh air buailtean
30
's gach tuathanach air doigh;
31
's na Sas'nnaich air am fuadach
32
A Eilean uain' a' Cheo.
33
The Misty Isle (Skye)
34
Although my head has greyed
35
With forgetfulness and sadness,
36
And the sun of my fifty years
37
Has darkened under the clouds;
38
My thoughts are filled
39
With a great desire,
40
To see the Isle of Skye
41
The elements and the mist.
42
It is more than forty years
43
Since I left you willingly,
44
And I put down my roots
45
In the middle of the city;
46
And although I married a fisherman
47
Who filled my house with wealth,
48
You are forever in my mind
49
And I long to be in your shelter.
50
But who has ears,
51
Or a heart which beats with life
52
Who will not sing this song with me
53
About the hardship which has befallen us?
54
The thousands who were cleared
55
Deprived of their belongings and their rights,
56
The desires of their hearts and their thoughts
57
Are on the "Green Isle of the Mist".
58
Now remember your hardship,
59
And keep your banner flying;
60
For the wheel (of change) will not go round for you
61
Without strength and hardness of fist;
62
Your cattle will be in their folds,
63
And every farmer will be happy -
64
And the English would be ousted
65
From the "Green Isle of the Mist".
Tighinn air a' mhuir tha fear a phòsas m...
