Translation of the song lyrics Gura Mise Tha Gu Dubhach - Karen Matheson

Gura Mise Tha Gu Dubhach (original)

Gura mise tha gu dubhach
Hao a ri 's na hurabh I hiu o
Ma shealgair a' choilich bhuidhe
Hoireann is hurabh I ho ho
Hoireann ‘is hurabh I ho hao ri o
Hoireann is hurabh I ho ho
Chuala mi do ghlaodh ‘sa bhruthach
'S ged a chuala cha d’chuir umhail
's ged a chuala cha d’chuir umhail
Gos an cuala 's guth an fhithich
Gos an cuala ‘ s guth an fhithich
Mile mollachd air na braithrean
Mile mollachd air na braithrean
Dh’fhag iad sinnte anns a' bhas thu
Dh’fhag iad sinne anns a' bhas thu
Fuil do chinn' s do bheul 's do bhraghad

Gura Mise Tha Gu Dubhach (translation)

That I am depressed
Hao a ri 's hurabh I hiu o
If the yellow cockerel hunts
I ho ho
Hoireann ‘is hurabh I ho hao ri o
I ho ho
I heard your cry in the hillside
And though they heard, they did not obey
And though they heard, they did not obey
The sound and the voice of the raven
The sound of the raven's voice
A thousand curses on the brothers
A thousand curses on the brothers
They left us in the lurch
They left us in the lurch
The blood of your head and your mouth and your breast
