Translation of the song lyrics The Woman of Balnain - Bear McCreary, Gillebride MacMillan

The Woman of Balnain (original)

‘S mise bean Tighearna Bhail' ‘n Athain
«Tha na Sìth air mo ghoid a-rithist, a-risthist,»
Tha mar g’eill gach clach ga ràdh
Gu h-obann an sin, dhorchnaidh an oidhch'
‘S chualas fuaim àrd mar thàirneanach
‘S thàinig a' ghealach a-mach
Fo sgàil nan neòil
‘S bhoillsg ì air a' chaileig
Bean Bhail ‘n Athain ì fhèin a bh’ann
‘Sgìth ‘s claoidht mar gun d’shiubhail i fada
Bean Bhail ‘n Athain ì fhèin a bh’ann
Ach nach b’urrainn ins càite an robh i
No idir mar rinn i tighinn

The Woman of Balnain (translation)

I am the wife of Lord Balnain
«The Peace has been stolen from me again,»
It's as if every stone is saying
Suddenly there, the night darkens
A loud noise like thunder was heard
And the moon came out
Under the shadow of the clouds
She looks at the girl
She was the wife of Athenry herself
Tired and exhausted as if she had traveled a long way
She was the wife of Athenry herself
But she could not tell where she was
Or at all as she did come
