Translation of the song lyrics To the Moon - Capercaillie

To the Moon (original)

Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
A nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu
'S a nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
A nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu
'S a nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
A nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu
'S a nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
A nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu
'S a nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
Nuair sheasadh tu air urlar
Dhannsadh to gu luth-mhor
'S ged bhithinn anns a' chuil
Bhiodh mo shuil or a bhoichead
Nuair sheasadh tu air urlar
Dhannsadh to gu luth-mhor
'S ged bhithinn anns a' chuil
Bhiodh mo shuil or a bhoichead
A nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu
'S a nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
A nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
'S ho ro 's e mo roghainn thu
'S a nigh’n donn 's toigh leam thu
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead
Thaghainn thu air bhoichead

When you stood on the floor
You danced very loudly
And though I was in the back
My eye would be golden

White moons that reveal land
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Ho ro o, o hu o
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Travel in full uniform
Mother of the stars
Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho
White moons that reveal land
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Ho ro o, o hu o
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Oh don't be jealous of us
To feed the hundreds
Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho
White moons that reveal land
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Ho ro o, o hu o
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Give us what rises
I swear we won't be hurt
Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho
White moons that reveal land
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Ho ro o, o hu o
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Sacrifice on rhetoric
Increasingly the herd
Ho ri o hu o, e ho hi ri ri o ho
White moons that reveal land
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Ho ro o, o hu o
E ho hi ri ri o ho
Hi ri o ho Hi ri o ho
Hi ri o ho Hi ri o ho
