Translation of the song lyrics Alasdair MacColla - Clannad

Alasdair MacColla (original)

Alasdair Mhic o ho Cholla Ghasda o ho As do laimh-s' gun o ho Earbainn tapaidh trom eile
fonn:
Chall eile i chall a ho ro
Chall eile i chall a ho ro
Chall eile huraibh ru chall a ho ro
S haoi o ho trom eile
As do laimh-s' gun
Earbainn tapaidh
Mharbhadh Tighearna
Ach-nam-Breac leat
Mharbhadh Tighearna
Ach-nam-Breac leat
Thiolaigeadh e an oir an lochain
'S ged 's beag mi fhein
Bhuail mi ploc air
Chuala mi’n de Sgeul nach b’ait leam
Chuala mi’n de Sgeul nach b’ait leam
Glaschu a bhith
Dol 'na lasair
Glaschu a bhith
Dol 'na lasair
'S Obair-Dheathain
An deidh a chreachadh

Alasdair MacColla (translation)

Alasdair Mhic o ho Colla Ghasda o ho Out of your hand without o ho Another swift, heavy deer
tune:
Another loss i lost a ho ro
Another loss i lost a ho ro
Another loss huraibh ru call a ho ro
S haoi o another heavy ho
Out of your hands
Quick deer
Lord was killed
Ach-nam-Breac with you
Lord was killed
Ach-nam-Breac with you
He buried the edge of the pond
And although I am small
I hit a block on it
I heard a story I didn't like
I heard a story I didn't like
Being Glasgow
Going up in flames
Being Glasgow
Going up in flames
And Aberdeen
After being plundered
