Translation of the song lyrics Moch Di Luain - Karen Matheson

Moch Di Luain (original)

Moch Di Luain
Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan
Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan
Moch Di-luain an deidh Di-domhnaich
Sheol i a Steornabhagh a' chaisteil
Gillean gasda air a bord
G' a cumail doigheil anns a' chala
Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan
Iubhrach a' ghluasaid ealaimh
Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan
Rachadh i cho glan an ordugh
Ri mnaoi oig a' dol gu banais
Nuair a chuartaich sinn an Tiompan
'S i bha sunndach, 's muir 'na meallan
Moch Di-luain ghabh i 'n cuan…

Moch Di Luain (translation)

Early Monday
Early on Monday she went to sea
Early on Monday she went to sea
Early Monday after Sunday
She sailed the castle to Stornoway
Nice guys on board
Keeping her happy in the harbor
Early on Monday she went to sea
Yew of the agile movement
Early on Monday she went to sea
She would go so clean the order
To a young woman going to a wedding
When we circled the Tympan
And she was cheerful, and the sea was hail
Early on Monday morning she went to sea…
