Tir a' Mhurain
Tir a' Mhurain
Tir a' Mhurain
Trobhad is coisich rium
Ri taobh a' chuain Is seallaidh mi dhuit
Tir a' Mhurain
Failte gu mo dhan
Siol is meas nam bard
Am foghar bha feitheamh orm
Bho an la a bha mi og
(Chorus)
Failte gu mo thir
Eilean geal an iar
An t-ait a chi gach tuigse is firinn
Glaiste 'na mo chridke
(Chorus)
Failte gu mo chainnt
Is i dh'ionnsaich mi 'nam phaisde
Canan uasal mor nan Gaidheal
Mar bhratach dhomh gach la
(Chorus)
Is ged a dh' fheuch iad ri cur as dhuinn
Chi mo theaghlach cnoc nan linn
Is ged tha ar canan leoint le stri
'S an tir seo bidh i beo
(Chorus)
(Chorus)

Land Of Maram Grass

Land
Of Maram Grass
Land Of Maram Grass
Land Of Maram Grass
Come and walk with me
By the side of the ocean
Let me show you
The land of the maram grass
Welcome to my song
To the seed and the fruit of the bards
To the harvest that's been waiting
Since the days of youth
(Chorus)
Welcome to my landscape
The pure and unspoilt western island
To the place that will always find
It's meaning and truth
Locked away in my heart
(Chorus)
Welcome to my language
The one I learned as a child
The huge dignified language of the Gael
That stands like a banner
For me daily
(Chorus)
Although they tried to destroy us
My children will see
The landscape of generations
Although the language
Has been wounded in its struggle
In this land, she will live on
(Chorus)
(Chorus)
Abhainn an
t-Sluaigh
The Crowded River
(gälisch)
Chan eil an
t-adhar os cionn Lunnainn
A-nochd soileir no dorch
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Gun
sgial air coinneal mor latha
No reultan na h-oidhche
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
An
sea s'am baile gun chadal
Gun fhois is gun saorsa
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Casan
a' gluasad
An abhainn an tuil
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Na
cuibhlichean, 's cabhaig
A’ tionndaidh gun sgur
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Cus
ag adhradh beairtas
Air altair an tshaoghail
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Cach
gun dochas gun dachaidh
Air sraidean gun ghaol
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Leis
gach dath s'gach creideamh
Gach cainnt as gach cearn
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh
Gach ceist is gach
freagairt
sios an abhainn gu cuan
Fada bho abhainn an t-sluaigh ( x6 )
Abhainn an t-Sluaigh
The Crowded River
(englisch)
The
skies above London
Are neither clear nor dark
The need to be far from the crowded river
Neither the great candle of daylight
Nor the stars of the night can be seen
The need to be far from the crowded river
In
this city that never sleeps
there is stillness, no quiet
The need to be far from the crowded river
Footsteps keep moving
The river in full flood
The need to be far from the crowded river
The relentless wheels
Keep turning without pause
The need to be far from the crowded river
Many
worshipping wealth
At the world's altar
The need to be far from the crowded river
Others without hope or home
On streets that hold no love
The need to be far from the crowded river
Races
creeds and tongues
From all corners of the globe
The need to be far from the crowded river
All
questions and answer
Rushing down the river to the ocean
The need to be far from the crowded river ( x6)
Sraidean Na
Roinn-Eorpa
Streets Of Europe
(gälisch)
Chuir mi mo
chul ri Lunnainn
An samhradh air m'aodann
'S mi air sraidean mor na Roinn-Eorpa
'S mi le mo run, le m'anam, mo bhratach
Mo ghrian mo ghealach ur
'S sheas mi's na aiteachan a sheas m'athair
'S ioma cogadh a tha ann airson saorsa
Da fhicead bliadhna's an dileab air fhagail
Briaran do linn's do sheorsa
Baile beag anns a'
Ghearmailt
Gruagach cho boidheach
Le suilean lan sonas is bron
Thuirt i "am bheil fhios agaibh fhein, an t-sochair
'tha agaibh Tha eallach eachraidh air mo ghuaillan cho trom"
Chrath sinn lamhan, 's dh'fhalbh I a'seinn
An dan tha dcmhainn, 's gach anam de dhaoine
Dh'fhag mi i le blas beag de mo dhuthaich
Dh'fhag i mi leis a chompanas ur
Tha na brataich
a'snamh
An cuan de dhathan
Do chanan binn an cluas na Roinn-Eorpa
Tha na sraidean beo le cainnt's togair
Sraidean am Babel ur
'S thusa mo run, tha cothrom mad choinneamh
Tha do chliu air 'dhol tarsainn an cuan
Thusa tha meanbh, bi ladir, bi alainn
Taisbean do chanan, bi buan
Sraidean Na Roinn-Eorpa
Streets Of Europe
(englisch)
I
have put London behind me
The summer is on my face
And I am on the big streets of Europe
With my love, my flag
My sun, and my new moon
I stood in the places where my father had stood
Many are the wars of freedom
Forty years and the legacy is still with me
The words of his kind and generation
A
small town in Germany
A beautiful young girl
Her eyes full of sorrow and joy
She said "Are you aware of the privilege you enjoy
The burden of history lies heavy on my shoulders"
We shook hands, and she went on her way singing
The song that is deep in the soul of all people
I left her with a small part of my country
She left me with the fellowship of a new age
The
flags are swimming
In a sea of colour
My language melodious in the ear of Europe
The streets are alive with conversation and purpose
Possibilities for a new Babel
And you my love have opportunity before you
Your renown has crossed the ocean
You that are small, be strong, be beautiful
Reveal your great language, be everlasting
Chi Mi'n Geamhradh
(I See The Winter)
(gälisch)
Chi
mi'n geamhradh 'as a' ghaoith
Chaneil an sheachd' fada bhuainn
Sgothan dorch' 's na craobhan ruisgt
Tha an oidhche nochd fuar
Shaoilean
fhein gur ann an de
Bha teas an t-samhraidh 'gar leaghadh
Fad an fheasgair air an Dun
'S tu laighe leisg ri mo thaobh
'S tu
laighe leisg ri mo thaobh
'S iomadh oidch' a rinn sinn suiridhe
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn gair
'S ionadh oidhch' a bhithinn a'smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
Chan
fhan a' ghrian fad na bliadhna
Cha sheas an uair mar a tha i
Dh'fhalbh thusa gu'n a'cheo
'S
dh'fhag thu mi le mo geamhradh
'S iomadh oidch' a rinn sinn suiridhe
'S iomadh oidhch' a rinn sinn gair
'S ionadh oidhch' a bhithinn a'smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
Gum
bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
Gum bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
Gum bitheadh tu comhla ruim gu brath
Chi Mi'n Geamhradh
(I See The Winter)
(englisch)
I see the winter in the wind
The snow is not far from us
Dark clouds and the trees losing leaf
The night is cold
So often it feels that it was only yesterday
The summer heat melted us
All evening long out on the Dun
And you lying lazy by my side
Many nights we loved
Many nights we laughed
Many times I thought
That you would have stayed forever
But the sun never shines all year
Time will not stay as it once was
You left for the city
Leaving me to my winter
Many nights we loved
Many nights we laughed
Many times I thought
That you would have stayed forever
That you would have stayed forever
That you would have stayed forever
That you would have stayed forever

Eighteen teams of horses
On the field of Aird a Mhorrain
the young men were ploughing
On the day the Sleat people came
The geneology of Goraidh
The sons of Ruairi
The sons of Ranald
The children of Donald
The children of my own family
Generation to generation
From one name to another
My time is now
To walk this corner of Uist
Black was the colour of the blood
That flowed like a flood to the land
The arrow, the long sword
Through the generosity of the Udal people

Song
(englisch)
Breath of my life,
Breath of my existence
Breath of my life
Proclaiming in my soul,
Uplifting my heart
Uplifting my heart
I am
standing before you
Without fear or desire
I am standing before you
The concerns of the morning will come
When the sun rises
When the sun rises
Song,
 sacred,  eternal
Lift on high the voice of the people
Song, I am reconciled
Let it rise up from the moorlands
The
psalm is like a flame,
Illuminating all around
The psalm is like a flame
My lips opened
When the day began
When the day began
Song,
 sacred,  eternal
Lift on high the voice of the people
Song, I am reconciled
Let it rise up from the moorlands
Sing,
Sing, Sing
A new song, a song of the dust
Spoken Passage: (unofficial translation)
Looking out the window of morning
From the evening to the door of night
I asked the question
And the answer was in the water of dawn
[of the lake?]
It
was the Earth
