Translation of the song lyrics 'Ic Iain 'Ic Sheumais - Karen Matheson

'Ic Iain 'Ic Sheumais (original)

A Mhic Iain 'Ic Sheumais
Tha do sgeul air m’aire
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Latha Blar a' Cheithe
Bha feum air mo leanamh
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu o
Fal eile bho hiri si bho ho fal eile bho
Latha Blar a' Cheithe
Bha feum air mo leanamh
Latha Blar na Feitheadh
Bha do leine na ballan
Latha Blar na Feitheadh
Bha do leine na ballan
Bha fuil do chuim chubhraidh
A drudhadh ro’n anart
Bha fuil do chuim chubhraidh
A drudhadh ro’n anart
Bha fuil do chuirp uasail
Air uachdair gach fearainn
A Mhic Iain 'Ic Sheumais
Tha do sgeul air m’aire
Latha Blar a' Cheithe
Bha feum air mo leanamh

'Ic Iain 'Ic Sheumais (translation)

Son of John James
Your story is on my mind
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Battle of the Mist Day
I needed to be followed
A hi other fe o hiri si bho horo hu o
Another word from hiri si bho ho another word from
Battle of the Mist Day
I needed to be followed
Day of the Battle of the Waiting
Your shirt was the ball
Day of the Battle of the Waiting
Your shirt was the ball
Your blood was fragrant
Dripping in front of the linen
Your blood was fragrant
Dripping in front of the linen
The blood of your noble body
On the surface of all lands
Son of John James
Your story is on my mind
Battle of the Mist Day
I needed to be followed
