Текст Julie Fowlis – M’ Fhearann Saidhbhir
Текст:
M’ fhearann saidhbhir o hùg à
‘S i hù i hò nam b’ àill leibh e
M’ fhearann saidhbhir, pailteas stòras
Nam biodh Dòmhnall Bàn againn.
M’ fhearann saidhbhir air gach taobh dhìom
Mo chrodh-laoigh air àirighean.
Tha i tighinn ‘s chan ann righinn
‘S coireal, cridheil, gaiseil i.
Geig air mhaidean, geig air chnagan
Cochaill, mhachail, thraghannan.
Cùlanaich air chùl a chèile
‘S iad sìor èigheach sgàth oirre.
An fhairge thonnach ghaoireach ghleannach
Thonnach shalach shràcbhalach.
An fhairge ag èirigh suas ma toiseach
Cupaill coiteal càirdeisteach.
My land is rich o hùg à
‘S i hù i hò if you liked it
My land is productive with abundant
stores
If we had fair-haired Donald
My rich land surrounds me
My milk-cattle on shielings
She approaches, not reluctantly
She is passionate, cheerful, strong.
Rattle on strakes, rattle on thole-pins
Her shell damaged and exhausted
Waves piling up
Constantly shouting her destruction
The billowing, restless, shelving,
The sea rising up round her prow
With shrouds straining and bracing.
