Tha Mo Ghaol Air Àird A' Chuain

Fri Aug 28, 2009, 3:47 PM
  • Mood: Neutral
Feasgar ciùin an tùs a' Chèitein
Nuair bha 'n ialtag anns na speuran
Chualaim rìbhinn òg 's i deurach
'Seinn fo sgàil nan geugan uain'
Bha a' ghrian 'sa chuan gu sìoladh
'S reult cha d' èirich anns an iarmailt
Nuair a sheinn an òigh gu cianail
"Tha mo ghaol air àird a' chuain"

Thòisich dealt na h-oidhch' ri tùirling
'S lùb am braon gu caoin na flùrain
Shèid a' ghaoth 'na h-oiteig chùbhraidh
Beatha 's ùrachd do gach cluan
Ghleus an nighneag fonn a h-òrain
Sèimh is ciùin mar dhriùchd an Òg-mhìos
'S bha an t-sèisd seo 'g èirigh 'n còmhnaidh
"Tha mo ghaol air àird a' chuain"

Chiar an latha is dheàrrs' na reultan
Sheòl an rè measg neul nan speuran
Shuidh an òigh, bha 'bròn 'ga lèireadh
'S cha robh dèigh air tàmh no suain
Theann mi faisg air reult nan òg-bhean
Sheinn mu 'gaol air chuan 'bha seòladh
O bu bhinn a caoidhrean brònach
"Tha mo ghaol air àird a' chuain"

Rinn an ceòl le deòin mo thàladh
Dlùth do rìbinn donn nam blàth-shul
'S i ag ùrnaigh ris an Àrd-Rìgh
"Dìon mo ghràdh 'th' air àird a' chuain"
Bha a cridh' le gaol gu sgàineadh
Nuair a ghlac mi fhèin air làimh i:
"Siab do dheòir, do ghaol tha sàbhailt
Thill mi slàn bhàrr àird a' chuain"

On a quiet evening at the beginning of May
When the bat was in the skies
I heard a tearful young maiden
Singing beneath the shadow of the green branches
The sun was setting in the sea
And no stars yet graced the sky
When the young girl sang sorrowfully
My love is on the high seas

The night's dew began to fall
Each bloom yielding softly to the droplets
The wind blew in a fragrant breeze
Bringing life and renewal to each field
The girl tunefully sang her song
Quiet and peaceful like the June dew
And this chorus constantly repeated
My love is on the high seas

Day darkened and the stars shone
Setting their course amongst the clouds
The maiden sat, burdened by her sadness
Her singing could not have been more soothing
I moved closer to the young woman
Singing of her love sailing on the sea
Oh sweet was her sad lament
My love is on the high seas

The music enticed me
Nearer to the brown-haired maiden of the warm eyes
And she prayed to the King of Heaven
Protect my love on the high seas
Her heart was breaking with love
When I took her by the hand:
"Wipe your eyes, your love is safe
I have returned to you from the high seas"
