Englsih translation would be nice, but not necessary. Thanks in advance, Piérre Tmk1108@hotmail.com |

I have had a few drinks and the power went off so he wasn't able to finish his show so besides being depressed I am somewhat inebriated. Despite that, here is the song as sung by Ms. Matheson. Suas leis na gaidhlig agus tha mi duilich airson na gaidhlig dona. Cliff Och a thearlaich Og Stuibhart 'se do chuis rinn mi leiradh Thug thu uam gach ni bh' agam Ann an cogadh a'd aobhar Cha chrodh is cha cairdean Rinn mo chradh ach mo cheile O'n la dh' fhag thu mi'm aonar Gun sion 'sant-saoghal ach leine Oh Gur a mise thair mo sgaradh Sged a chan-am cha bhreug e Chaidh mo te bha na bantraich Nach dh'fhuair samhladh do'm cheile Fear do cheile 's do thuig-se Cha robh fur-asd a' fhaotuinn 'Scha do sheas air cullodair Fear do choltais bu treine Mo run geal og Oh young Charles Stewart Your cause is the reason of my sorrow You took from me everything I had In the war on your behalf I am not mourning cattle or sheep But my partner Since I am left alone with nothing but my shroud I am torn apart And although I say it, I am not lying My happiness has turned to sorrow Since you will not return from death One possessing your wisdom and understanding Is not easy to find And not one stood at Culloden Who possessed your appearance and bravery |
