sèist
Gleanna Gollaidh, Gleanna GollaidhBR>
Gleanna Gollaidh nan craobh
'Sann a thàinig iad mar mhialchoin
Cò chì e nach mol e
Gleanna Gollaidh nan craobh
|
chorus
Glen Golly, Glen Golly,
Glen Golly of the trees;
who can see it
without praising it,
Glen Golly of the trees
|
1) Ri faicinn crìoch ’àrdain
Ga mo bhreugadh gu taobh
’Sann a smuainich mi fanadh
An Gleann Gollaidh nan craobh
|
Seeing the abutment of its elevation drew me aside;
indeed I thought of staying in
Glen Golly of the trees
|
2) Ged a gheibhinn gu m’ àilgheas
Ceann an t-Sàile MhicAoidh
’S mòr a b’annsa leam fanadh
An Gleann Gollaidh nan craobh
|
Though I might get to my desire,
Tongue parish,
more I fancy staying
in Glen Golly of the trees
|
3) Fonn diasach, ’s mòr a b’fhiach e
Gu fiadhach ’s gu nì
Àite sìobhalt ri doininn
A’s nach crithnich a’ ghaoth
|
Bountiful land, much is its value for stalking and cattle;
an agreeable place in time of storm
in which the wind will not shudder
