Translation of the song lyrics 'Ic Iain 'Ic Sheumais - Runrig

'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 blàr a' Cheithe
Bha feum air mo leanamh
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri bho ho fal eile
Latha blàr a' Cheithe
Bha feum air mo leanamh
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Lathe blàr na Feitheadh
Bha do leine na ballan
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri bho ho fal eile
Lathe blàr na Feitheadh
Bha do leine na ballan
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Bha fuil do chuim chubhraidh
A drudhadh ro’n anart
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri bho ho fal eile
Bha fuil do chuim chubhraidh
A drudhadh ro’n anart
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Bha fuil do chuirp uasail
Air uachdair gach fearainn
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri bho ho fal eile
Bha fuil do chuirp uasail
Air uachdair gach fearainn
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Cuma nach ghabh thu am bristeadh
Latha ligeadh na fala
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri bho ho fal eile
Bh’on latha thug thu an cuan ort
Bha gruaim air na beannaidh
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Bha snigh air na speuran
'S bha na reultan galach
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri bho ho fal eile
Nam biodh agam curaidh
Gun cuirinn air chuan I
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Fiach a faighinn naidheachd
No brath an duin uasail
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri bho ho fal eile
A Mhic Iain 'Ic Sheumais
Tha do sgeul air m’aire
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Latha blàr a' Cheithe
Bha feum air mo leanamh
A hi eile fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Fal eile bho hiri bho ho fal eile

'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
The day of the battle of the Quays
I needed to be followed
A hi other fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Another fal from hiri from ho fal another
The day of the battle of the Quays
I needed to be followed
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
The Battle Day of the Waiting
Your shirt was the ball
A hi other fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Another fal from hiri from ho fal another
The Battle Day of the Waiting
Your shirt was the ball
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Your blood was fragrant
Dripping in front of the linen
A hi other fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Another fal from hiri from ho fal another
Your blood was fragrant
Dripping in front of the linen
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
The blood of your noble body
On the surface of all lands
A hi other fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Another fal from hiri from ho fal another
The blood of your noble body
On the surface of all lands
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Take care that you do not take the break
The day the blood was shed
A hi other fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Another fal from hiri from ho fal another
The day you took to the ocean
The blessings were gloomy
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
The skies were clear
And the stars were angry
A hi other fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Another fal from hiri from ho fal another
If I had a hero
I would put on the sea
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
Worth getting news
Or message the gentleman
A hi other fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Another fal from hiri from ho fal another
Son of John James
Your story is on my mind
Air fa ra ra lo, air fa ra ra lo
The day of the battle of the Quays
I needed to be followed
A hi other fe o hiri si bho horo hu
Another fal from hiri from ho fal another
