An Eala Bhàn (The Fair Swan)


An Eala Bhàn

Dòmhnall Ruadh Chorùna


    Gur duilich leam mar tha mi
    ’S mo chridhe ’n sàs aig bròn
    Bhon an uair a dh’fhàg mi
    Beanntan àrd a’ cheò
    Gleanntannan a’mhànrain
    Nan loch, nam bàgh ’s nan sròm
    ’S an eala bhàn tha tàmh ann
    Gach latha air ’m bheil mi ’n tòir.

    A Mhagaidh na bi tùrsach
    A rùin, ged gheibhinn bàs-
    Cò am fear am measg an t-sluaigh
    A mhaireas buan gu bràth?
    Chan eil sinn uile ach air chuairt
    Mar dhìthein buaile fàs
    Bheir siantannan na blianna sios
    ’S nach tog a’ ghrian an àird.

    Tha ’n talamh leir mun cuairt dhìom
    ’Na mheallan suas ’s na neòil;
    Aig na ’shells a’ bualadh -
    Cha leir dhomh bhuam le ceò:
    Gun chlaisneachd aig mo chluasan
    Le fuaim a’ ghunna mhòir;
    Ach ged tha ’n uair seo cruaidh orm
    Tha mo smuaintean air NicLeòid.

    Air m’ uilinn anns na truinnsichean
    Tha m’ inntinn ort, a ghràidh;
    Nam chadal bidh mi a’ bruadar ort
    Cha dualach dhomh bhith slàn;
    Tha m’ aigne air a lionadh
    Le cianalas cho làn
    ’S a’ghruag a dh’fhàs cho ruadh orm
    A nis air thuar bhith bàn.

    Ach ma thig an t-àm
    Is anns an Fhraing gu faigh mi bàs
    ’S san uaigh gun tèid mo shìneadh
    Far eil na mìltean chàch,
    Mo bheannachd leis a’ ghruagaich,
    A’ chaileag uasal bhbànn -
    Gach là a dh’fhalbh gun uallach dhi,
    Gun nàire gruaidh na dhàil.

    Oidhche mhath leat fhèin, a rùin
    Nad leabaidh chùbhraidh bhlàth;
    Cadal sàmhach air a chùl
    Do dhùsgadh sunndach slàn.
    Tha mise ’n seo ’s an truinnsidh fhuar
    ’S nam chluasan fuaim bhàis
    Gun duil ri faighinn às le buaidh -
    Tha ’n cuan cho buan ri shnàmh.
