Celtic Folk - The Dark Island An T-Eilean Dorcha Lyrics




An t-Eilean Dorcha

Air taobh thall a' chuain seo bu mhiann leam bhith 'n drasd',
far eil smuaintean an ait' ud gham tharraing gach la,
far eil fraoch cuhraidh alainn air beanntan a' fas
tha dieadh ad, ad os cionn an Eilean Dhorcha.

Seisd (chorus)

O Eilein bhig m'oige, 's ann riut tha mo mhiann,
sinn a' fagail ti-mo 's a' cur cus' chun an Iar;
gheibh mi solas an anam nach d'fhairich mi riamh
on a' chiad latha dh'fhag mi 'n t-Eilean Dorcha.

On chuan thig an oiteag cho socair don o,
a' cur failt' air an allt ruith gu traigh bhuidhe oir,
far an cluinn mi gach la aighear 's gair' aig clann og -
's e mo bhoid a chaoidh nach fhag mi 'n t-Eilean Dorcha.

O sheud Innse Gall, tha thu sealltainn do luach
ri boillsgeadh grein samhraidh chuir oidhche gu ruaing;
's truagh nach robh mi mar fhaoileig a' saor-shiubhal cuain -
gura luath bhithinn taobh ri m'Eilean Dorcha.
