Translation of the song lyrics Faileas Air An Airidh - Runrig, Paul Mounsey

Faileas Air An Airidh (original)

Tha faileas air an airigh
Faileas air an airigh
Tha 'n long a-muigh 'ceann a bhaigh
Air madainn cheitean trath
Tha grian ar cuimhne ag eiridh
Grian ar cuimhne ag eiridh
A' siubhal sraidean duthaich ghalld'
Tro bhailtean saoghal chein
Tha’m feasgar cuin 's na siantan blath
Tha grian 's an iar mar mheall de’n or
An cuan mar sgathan gorm gun sgleo
Is bu mhor mo mhian bhi 'n uibhist leat
Togaidh sinn ar fonn an ard
Togaidh sinn ar fonn an ard
's ged' tha mi fada bhuat
Cha dhealaich sinn a' chaoidh

Faileas Air An Airidh (translation)

There is a shadow on the sheiling
Shadow on the sheiling
The ship is out at the head of the bay
Good morning early
The sun is rising in our memory
Sun for a rising memory
Traveling the streets of a foreign country '
Through the cities of a foreign world
The evening is over when the weather is warm
The sun in the west is like a cloud of gold
The ocean like a blue mirror without a shadow
It was my great desire to be with you
We will build on the tune of the high
We will build on the tune of the high
And though I am far from you
We will never part
