Translation of the song lyrics Meadhan Oidhche Air An Acairseid - Runrig

Meadhan Oidhche Air An Acairseid (original)

Gealach air an acairseid
Ceatharnach 'na fheileadh
«Te bhan, te bhuidhe bhan»
Mu meadhan oidhche (repeat four times)
Clann-nighean og 's balaich a' bhaile a' cruinneachadh
Mu bhuth Dhoilidhe 's mu bhuth Chroinns
A' coiseachd, 's a' suiridhe 's a' caithris na h-oidhche
Gealach air an acairseid
Ceatharnach 'na fheileadh
«Te bhan, te bhuidhe bhan»
Mu meadhan oidhche (repeat two times)
Tionndadh a' chlair air ais na bliadhnaichean abachaidh a' ghraidh
Am Bagh Cuilcee Aird an Aiseigs Lag an Domhainn, Ceann a' Bhaigh
Tionndadh a' chlair air ais, meadhan oidhche, gealach s gealladh
Sheas an cruthachadh stolda air rathad a' steisean
Sheas na eathraichean aig tamh
Gealach air an acairseid
Ceatharnach 'na fheileadh
«Te bhan, te bhuidhe bhan»
Mu meadhan oidhche (repeat two times)
Bhidh sinne 's crathadh lamh againn
Is bilean blath toirt phog"
Cridhe baidheil caoimhneil
Cho tairis ris an or
An guth s an t-seist a' glaodhaich
«Far an robh mi’n raoir»
Na bliadhnaichean a' tionndadh
Briathran mor Mhicleoid
Gealach air an acairseid
Ceatharnach 'na fheileadh
«Te bhan, te bhuidhe bhan»
Mu meadhan oidhche (repeat ten times and fade out)
--oOo--
A moon on the anchorage
A champion, a kilt
«A fair haired girl, a golden fair haired girl»
Around midnight (repeat four times)
The young girls and the village boys meeting around
Doilidhs' shop, and around Croinns' shop
Walking out, courting and night visiting
A moon on the anchorage
A champion, a kilt
«A fair haired girl, a golden fair haired girl»
Around midnight (repeat two times)
Turnining the recording back.
The years of ripening love
The Bagh Cuilce, Aird an Aiseig, Laggandoin, Bayhead
Turnining the recording back, midnight, a moon and a promise
The creation stood still on the curing station road
All of the boats stood at rest
A moon on the anchorage
A champion, a kilt
«A fair haired girl, a golden fair haired girl»
Around midnight (repeat two times)
«In that place there will be clasping of hands
And warm lips to kiss»
The heart of affection and human kindness
Sincere, pure as gold
The voice and the chorus proclaming
«Where was I last night»
The years are turning back
The big words of Macleod
A moon on the anchorage
A champion, a kilt
«A fair haired girl, a golden fair haired girl»
Around midnight (repeat ten times and fade out)

Meadhan Oidhche Air An Acairseid (translation)

Moon on the anchorage
Ceatharnach in his kilt
«White woman, fair lady»
About midnight (repeat four times)
The young girls and boys of the village gather
About Dolly's shop and Croinns' shop
Walking, courting and keeping watch at night
Moon on the anchorage
Ceatharnach in his kilt
«White woman, fair lady»
About midnight (repeat two times)
Turning the record back the ripening years of love
Cuilcee Bay Ard an Ashaig Lag an Domhain, Bayhead
Turning the record back, midnight, moon and promise
The formation stood still on the station road
The boats stood still
Moon on the anchorage
Ceatharnach in his kilt
«White woman, fair lady»
About midnight (repeat two times)
We will be shaking hands
Kissing is a warm lip »
A heart of benevolent kindness
As over as gold
The voice and the chorus shout
«Where I Was Last Night»
The years turn
Macleod's big words
Moon on the anchorage
Ceatharnach in his kilt
«White woman, fair lady»
About midnight (repeat ten times and fade out)
