Translation of the song Fuaim an Taibh artist Mary MacLeod

Re fuaim an taibh

At the ocean’s sound

‘S uaigneach mo ghean –

my mood is forlorn –

Bha mis uair nach, b’e sean m’àbhaist.

not always has feeling thus been my custom.

Ach pìob nuallanach mhòr

But a great roaring pipe

Bheireadh buaidh air gach ceòl

that left all music behind

Nuair ghluaiste i le meòir Phàdraig 1.

when it was stirred by Patrick’s 1 fingers.
