Cha tog mi fonn aotrom,
O Dhihaoine mo dhunach :
O'n a cbailleacUi am bkta.
Air 'n a bhuthadh an cuiridh.
O'n a chailleadh am bkta,
Air 'n a bhathadh an cuiridh :
'S i do ghuala bha Faidir,
6ed a shkraich a' mbuir tho.
'S i do ghuala 'bha laidir,
Ged a sharaich a' mhuir thn ;
'S ann an clachan na traghad, _
'Tha mo ghradh-sa bho'n uiridh;
'S ann an clachan na trkghad,
'Tha mo ghrkdh-sa bho'n uiridb :
Gun slod' air do chluasaig,
Fo lie uaine na tuinne.
Gun B\od' air do chluasaig,
Fo lie uaine na tuinne ;
Tha do chlaidheamh 'na dhtmadh,
Fo dhruchdadh nan uinneag.
Tha do chlaidheamh 'na dhdnadb,
Fo dhrhchdadh nanuinneag ;
Do chuid chon air an iallaibh,
'S cha triall iad do'n mhonadh.
Do chuid chon air an iallaibh,
'S cha triall iad do'n mhonadh ;
Do fhrlth nam beann h,rda,
No gu krd-bh^inn a' chuilinn.
Do fhrith nam beann krda.
No gu krd-bh^inn a' chuilinn ;
'S mi na m' ahuidh' air an fhaodhlains.
Gun fhaoilte, gun fhuran.
Since the day of my sorrow
I am weary with wailing,
Since the loss of the boatie.
Where the hero was sailuig.
Since the loss of the boatie,
Where the hero was sailmg,
Oh, strong was his shoulder.
Though the sea was prevailing.
Oh, strong was his shoulder,
Tliough the sea was prevailiMg,
Now he lies in the clachan
Whom I am bewailing.
Now he lies in the clachan.
Whom I am bewailing.
And a green grassy curtain
His cold bed is veiling.
And a green grassy curtain
Kis cold bed is veiling.
His sword in its scabbard
The rust is assailing.
His sword in its scabbard
Tlie rust is assailing.
His hounds on their leashes,
Their speed unavailing.
His bounds on their leashea,
Their speed unavailing,
No more shall my hero
His mountains be scaling.
No more shall iny hfro
His mountains Ije scaling,
Sitting sadly, I sorrow,
Heavy-hearted and ailing.
