Lyrics: |
English Translation: |
| |
|
|
'S tim dhomh dol an ordugh |
It's time I got organized |
|
Is teannadh ri òran |
And I got down to a song |
|
Mu 'n duine rinn an dobheart |
About the guy who did the misdeed |
|
Bu choire dhuinn 'aoireadh |
That we have just got to lampoon |
|
Nuair leig e' n téin' air fogradh |
When he let the fire out of control |
|
A mach air feadh nam frogaibh |
Out among the gulleys |
|
'S nuair chaidh e feadh na coinich |
And when it spread throughout the moss |
|
Bha 'n seo feadh an t-saoighail |
As if throughout the world |
| |
|
|
Sèist: |
Chorus (after each verse): |
|
Nach nar an sealladh e 's an Eilean |
What an ignominious sight is the Island |
|
Smearsaid air feadh na beinne |
Embers throughout the mountain |
|
Pàirceannan chuir 'n an téine |
Fields set ablaze |
|
Le coire chlann daoine |
By culpable human hand |
|
Nach nar an sealladh e 's an Eilean |
What an ignominious sight is the Island |
|
Smearsaid air feadh na beinne |
Embers throughout the mountain |
|
Pàirceannan chuir 'n an téine |
Fields set ablaze |
|
Le coire chlann daoine |
By culpable human hand |
| |
|
|
Gur e Dòmhnull Raonuill |
There's Donald Ranald |
|
An uair sin bha 'n a eigin |
As a result in quite a fix |
|
A teicheadh as a leine |
Fleeing out of his shirt |
|
Ag eigheach 's a' glaodhaich |
Shouting and bawling |
|
Anna 's i fo ghruaman |
Anna in a black mood |
|
Rannaidh an taobh shuas dhi |
Rannaidh up beyond her |
|
'S thug Alasdair as ruaig |
And Alasdair took to his heels |
|
Mar gu 'm bualach an caoch e |
As if smitten with insanity |
| |
|
|
Sin far an robh smuid |
What smoke prevailed |
|
Nuair a chaidh e 's an spruis dhluth |
When it got among the spruce |
|
Ghabh e mach air feadh a' Chùil |
It headed out among the Back territory |
|
'S gur e 'n Grudair a dhioghail |
The Brewer sought revenge |
|
Nuair loisgeadh air a' phàirc |
When the park got burned |
|
Is a mhilleadh am buntata |
And the potatoes were destroyed |
|
Ged theannadh iad ri bhathadh |
Though they set to drenching |
|
Cha b' fheirrd iad an saothair |
It was to no avail |
| |
|
|
'S tim dhomh dol an ordugh |
It's time I got organized |
|
Is teannadh ri òran |
And I got down to a song |
|
Mu 'n duine rinn an dobheart |
About the guy who did the misdeed |
|
Bu choire dhuinn 'aoireadh |
That we have just got to lampoon |
|
Nuair leig e' n téin' air fogradh |
When he let the fire out of control |
|
A mach air feadh nam frogaibh |
Out among the gulleys |
|
'S nuair chaidh e feadh na coinich |
And when it spread throughout the moss |
|
Bha 'n seo feadh an t-saoighail |
As if throughout the world |
