Translation of the song lyrics Cho Buidhe Is A Bha I Riabh - Runrig

Cho Buidhe Is A Bha I Riabh (original)

Tha an rathad a’ruith gu tuath
Gleanntan sgapte air gach taobh
A' ghrian tro ghiuthas nam mor shliabh
Saighdean oir dhar leon an agh
Thuirt m’anam rium «Nach teid thu null
Cuir eallach’s cruaidh-chas air do chul
'S gun cuir an t-aite seallach failte oirnn
Is bi mi comhla riut an drast»
Sunndach a tha mi
Tron oighreachd bhoidheach, bhoidheach bhuan
Bha thu daonnan na mo smuaint
Tro laithean iseal’s bristeadh-cridh'
Tog orm mo chiall, tog orm mo bhith
Le cridhe aotrom, cridheil ciuin
A' liuthad cuan a ghiulan do dhaoine
Is iad a' triall na slighe bhuat
'S ged tha an saoghal dol bun os cionn
Is astar bhliadhnachan tighinn oirnn
'S ged tha mo dhuil ag eirigh suas
Is iomadh sgurr a bhios fo sgleo
Tha na siantan liath, 's na siantan blath
Le blaths cho diamhair is nach gabh e inns'
'S tha’n lus tha fas air croit Dhomhnaill Bhain
Cho buidhe’n diugh’s a bha i riamh

Cho Buidhe Is A Bha I Riabh (translation)

The road runs north
Scattered valleys on all sides
The sun through the pines of the great mountains
Gold heifers for the heifer lion
My soul says to me «Do not go over
Put a heavy burden on your back
And that the temporary place will welcome us
I'll be with you right now »
I'm happy
Through the beautiful, beautiful, lasting estate
You were always in my thoughts
During low days 'heartbreak'
Build me my senses, lift me up my being
With a light heart, a calm heart
Carrying many oceans to people
They are marching your way
And though the world is going upside down
It is a long time coming
And though my hopes rise
There are many storms that will be overshadowed
The elements are gray, and the elements are warm
With a warmth so mysterious it cannot be told '
And the plant grows on Donald Ban's croft
As yellow today as it ever was
