Alasdair Og Donn


Alasdair òg donn,
eireachdail, dualach,
tàmh thall anns a' bheinn àrd:

Thug thu bhuam cuid mo chrìdhe
agus ghlèidh thu gu caoin i.
Thug thu dhomh air ais i
nas fheàrr na bha an toiseach i.

Fhir nan crìdhe binn agus nam pòg,
éist ri cainnt mo bheòil dhut.
Saoil nach faic mi a-rithist thu
ach bithidh mo bheannachd mhaireann leat.

Happier

While I treasured my wounds
The days ticked by
Now most are gone
My wounds will die when I do
But no one will mourn them
They will just wish
I had been happier
