~ BRAIGH UIGE ~ UIG BRAE ~



Tha mo shealgair na shineadh ~My hunter lies stretched
Na shineadh, na shineadh ~ Stretched, stretched
Tha mo shealgair na shineadh ~ My hunter lies stretched
Anns an fhrith gun tigh'nn dhachaidh ~ On the moorland without coming home

Tha mo shealgair gun eirigh ~ My hunter lies without rising
Gun eirigh, gun eirigh ~ Without rising, without rising
Tha mo shealgair gun eirigh ~ My hunter lies without rising
'S tha na feidh air an leacainn ~And the deer are on the slopes

Tha na feidh am Braigh Uige ~ The deer are on Uig Brae
'M Braigh Uige, 'm Braigh Uige ~ On Uig Brae, on Uig Brae
Tha na feidh am Braigh Uige ~ The deer are on Uig Brae
'S e mo dhiubhail mar thachair ~ What happened is my ruin

Tha mo crodh air na lointean ~ My cattle are on the meadow
Na lointean, na lointean ~ On the meadow, on the meadow
Tha mo crodh air na lointean ~ My cattle are on the meadow
'S na laoigh oga mu'n casan ~ And their young calves at their feet

Iad gun togail ri aonaich ~ Without being herded to the hill
Ri aonaich, ri aonaich ~ To the hill, to the hill
Iad gun togail ri aonaich ~ Without being herded to the hill
Fireach fraoich agus glacaibh ~ Heathery moor and hollow

Gur fuar Lag na h-airidh ~ Cold is the Hollow of the Sheiling
Na h-airidh, na h-airidh ~ The Sheiling, the Sheiling
Gur fuar Lag na h-airidh ~ Cold is the Hollow of the Sheiling
'S tha mo ghradh fo na leacaibh ~ And my love lies beneath the slabs
