  • S mi ri imeachd nam aonar anns an og-mhadaim Mhaigh
  • Feadh leantaichean uaine mar fhear-fuadain gun sta h,
  • nuair a chunnaic mi a' ghruagach an taobh shuas dhiom a'tamh
  • 's i ri nigh' a culd aodaich mach air aodann Srath Bhain.
  • An sin dhi
  • ich mi suas far 'n robh gruagach mo ghraidh
  • is labhair mi rithe gu siobhalta tia h;
  • "Tha bliadhn' agus co
  • r bhon a thoisich an gradh,
  • is ma bhitheas tu deo
  • ach ni sinn posadh gun dail."
  • "Gu posadh, gu posadh ro og tha mi 'n drasd'-
  • gu bheil teang' aig do sheo
  • sa dheanadh fogradh 's gach ait;
  • gurn biodh m'athair 's mo mha hair gam chaindeadh gu bra h
  • nam posainn do leithid, O fhieasgaich gun sta h."
  • Ach a nionagan oga tha gun phosadh 's gach ait',
  • na dlu aibh fir oga le mo
  • chuis no tair.
  • Nach muladach dhomhsa bhith gun phosadh gu bra h-
  • 's fheudar fulreach nam aonar mach air aodann Srath Bhain.
  • (Translation) The Slopes Of Strath Ba
  • Walking out early alone on a morning in May
  • among green fields, an outcast and purposeless,
  • I saw a maiden who lived some way above me
  • as she washed her clothes out on the slopes of Strath Ba
  • .
  • I then climbed upwards to the maiden I loved
  • and courteously and mildly I spoke to her:
  • "It's over a year since our love began,
  • and if you are willing we shall marry at once."
  • "Marry? I'm too young to marry just now-
  • your sort has a tongue that could cause trouble anywhere;
  • my father and mother would scold me forever more
  • if I were to marry the likes of you, you feckless young man."
  • But you young girls everwhere who are still unmarried,
  • don't go turning young men down through pride or contempt
  • How sad for me to be unmarried forever more-
  • I'll have to live alone, out on the slopes of Strath Ba
