Alasdair og Mhic Ic Neacail |
Young Alasdair Nicholson |
| |
|
|
B'fhearr leam fhin gum beirinn mac dhuit |
I wish I could bear you a son |
| |
|
|
Coignear na sianar na seachdnar |
Five or six or seven |
| |
|
|
Chuirinn ciurd an laimh gach fear dhuit |
I would give each one a trade |
| |
|
|
Bheirinn cioch is gluinn dha'n asgaidh |
I would suckle the and raise them without payment |
| |
|
|
Thogainn suas air mar a' bhas fhasa iad |
I would bring them up where it would be easiest |
| |
|
|
Air mo ghualainn far am faicte iad |
On my shoulder where they could be seen |
| |
|
|
Fear na Dhiuc dhiubh's fear na Chaipean |
One a duke and one a captain |
| |
|
|
Fear air a long mhor as Sasunn |
One on a big ship in England |
| |
|
|
Fear na dhrobhair mor na mart dhuibh |
___ |
| |
|
|
Fear na sgriobhadair am Peart dhaibh |
One a writer in Perth |
