Gaelic Song : Iain MacIver : Fields of Athenry

Iain 'Costello' MacIver with John Murray. A Gaelic translation of this Irish song. I hope you all like it. ( There is no mention of "Michael" "Trevelyan" "Botany Bay" in this translation)

---------------------------
Ann am prìosan uaignidh fhuar
Chuala mise gruagach
"O leannan c'uin a chì mi thu a-rithist
Oir tha 'n lagh tighinn air do thòir
'S tha 'n luing cuir suas na siùil"
Tha e aonranach air raointean Ath an Rìgh

Seisd
C'uin a chi mi raointean Ath an Rìgh
Far am faiceadh sibh na h-eoin bheag air an sgiath.
Bha'n gaol again cho daimh is bhitheadh òrain ann ga'n seinn
Tha e aonranach air raointinn Ath an Rìgh

Ann am prìosan uaignidh fhuar
Fo ghlasan 's air a bhuaireadh
"A Mhairi 's cuma leat 's tu og
An aghaidh goinne agus an an Crun
Sheas mi'n aird gun las gun diu
Nis tog an teaghlach og again le uaill

Seisd

Na suidh' an cois na traghad
'sna reultan ard a dealradh
Luing nam priosanaich gu stiuireadh curs' do'n iar
Ach bith dochas aice 's dul
Aon latha gun till e null
Tha e aonranach air raointinn Ath an Rìgh

Seisd
C'uin a chi mi raointean Ath an Rìgh
Far am faiceadh sibh na h-eoin bheag air an sgiath.
Bha'n gaol again cho daimh is bhitheadh orain ann ga'n seinn
Tha e aonranach air raointinn Ath an Rìgh

Very bland and middle of the road country version. Meadhonach gun a bhith beo sam bith ann

@BobMonkfish Ma is e sinn do bheachd chaneil e , aig a char is miosa, ach caran mar a tha a chuid as motha a faireachdainn mu dheidhinn an aon oran sa bheurla ma tha. Tha e coltach nach do chord e riut ach is coma leam. :-)
