Translation of the song lyrics Soraidh Bhuam Gu Barraidh - Capercaillie

Soraidh Bhuam Gu Barraidh (original)

Soraidh bhuam gu Barraidh
Eilean’s maisich tha fo’n ghrein
Far an tric an robh mi sugradh
'S le sunna a ruith na spreidh
Gur lionmhor lus tha fas fo’n druchd
Is deallt air uir as dheidh
A' bheireadh slainte is muirneal dhuit
Air maduinn chubhraidh cheit
An am direadh ris a mhonadh
Measg a' mhurain 'be mo mhiann
Air feasgar fann’s an fhoghar
Nuair a chromadh air a ghrian
Gum beathaicheadh am faladh thu
Far luscan b’aille fiomh
An aiteag chubhraidh aluinn
Thig far bharr a' chain an iar
An am eirigh anns an t’samhradh
'Se bhith ann, bu mhor mo mhiann
Gach iasgair 's e le bhata
Dol gu aite a chuir na lion
Nuair a charadh iad siuil shlan rith
Air bharr nan tonnan liath
Bu bhriagha a bhi ga faicinn
Air a setadh dol dha’n iar
'Se Barraidh an t-eilean 's boidhche
Ann cho mor 's gun d’chur mi uigh
Far an tric an do ghabh mi oran
Measg non oighean maiseach ciuin
'S ged tha mi’n duigh air m’aineol
An Australia nan craobh
Cha di-chuimhuich mi a Ghaidhlig
Tha i sgriobhte 's a' chlar aig m’aois

(translation)

Farewell from Barra
A beautiful island under the sun
Where often I was sugradh
The cattle run with the sunna
There are many plants under the dew
It's a sight to behold
Giving you health and care
On a fragrant morning, Kate
At the end of the hill
Among the marram grass was my wish
On a faint autumn's evening
When bent over the sun
May the hide feed you
Far from the most beautiful place
The sweet-smelling ointment
Come off the top of the chain west
When it gets up in the summer
Being there, I really wanted to
Every fisherman with a stick
Going to a place that set the nets
When they fixed sails she ran
On top of the gray waves
It was beautiful to see her
Set to go west
The most beautiful island is Barra
So much so that I laid an egg
Where I often sang songs
Among non-quiet maidens
And though I know my ignorance
Australia of the trees
I will not forget his Gaelic
It's written in the age group
