MAIGHDEANNAN NA H'AIRIGH~ THE SHIELING MAIDS

Thug mi'n oidhche raoir 's mi bruadar~Last night I was dreaming
Mar ri rionagain na buaile~with the maidens of the cattle-fold
B'fhinealt uasal min na gruagaich~Elegant, noble, fine were the maidens
Seinn nan duanag san arigh~Singing their ditties in the shieling


Thug mi 'n oidhche a- raoir san airigh~I spent the night, last night in the shieling
Thug mi 'n oidhche a-raoir san airigh~I spent the night, last night in the shieling
Chaidh mi 'n oidhche cridheil coibhneil~I had a gentle & warm night
Mar ri maighdeannan na h-airigh~With the maidens in the shieling



Thug mi 'n oidhche a-raoir 'san airigh~I spent the night, last night in the sheiling
'S crodh a' sileadh bainne taladh~With the cattle dripping the milk of enticement
'S dealt na h-oidhche sileadh chaoibhneis~and the night-time dew was dripping kindness.
Air na maighdeanan 'san airigh~On the maidens in the sheiling


Thug mi 'n oidhche a-raoir san airigh~I spent the night, last night in the shieling
Thug mi 'n oidhche a-raoir san airigh ~I spent the night, last night in the shieling
Chaidh mi 'n oidhche cridheil coibhneil~ I had a gentle & warm night
Mar ri maighdeannan na h-airigh~in the company of the sheiling maids


'S cianail dusgadh an fhir-fhuadain~sad, the awakening of the exile
'S e sior-ionndrainn tir a' bhruadair~externally longing for the land of his dreams
'S tiamhaidh buan da thar nan stuaghan~endlessly,plaintively, across the waves
Ceol nan gruagach anns an airigh~sounds the music of the sheiling maidens


Thug mi'n oidhche raoir 'an airidh~I spent the night, last night in the shieling
Thug mi'n oidhche raoir 'an airidh~I spent the night, last night in the shieling
Chaidh mi'n oidhche cridheil caoimhneil~ I had a gentle, & warm night
Mar ri maighdeanan na h-airidh~in the company of the sheiling maids

Thug mi'n oidhche raoir 's mi bruadar~I spent the night, last night in my dreams
Mar ri nionagan na buaile~with the maidens of the cattle-fold
B'fhinealt uasal min na gruagaich~Elegant, noble, fine were the maidens
Seinn nan duanag anns an air-idh~Singing their ditties in the shieling

Thug mi'n oidhche raoir 'an airidh~I spent the night, last night on the shieling
Thug mi'n oidhche raoir 'an airidh~I spent the nght, last night on the shieling
Chaidh mi'n oidhche cridheil caoimhneil~ I spent a gentle & warm night
Mar ri maighdeanan na hairidh~In the company of the sheiling maids.
