From her album Uam. With my own pictures from my last two trips to Scotland (Dun Eideann/Edinburgh, Fìobha/Fife, An Ghaidhealtachd/The Highlands, An t-Eilean Sgitheanach/The Isle of Skye).

M'fhearann saidhbhir (My land is rich) / Nellie Garveys's / 'G ioman nan gamhan 's mi muladach / Jerry's Pipe Jig

(seist)M'fhearann saidhbhir o hùg à
'S i hù I hò nam b' àill leibh e.
M'fhearann saidhbhir o hùg à

M'fhearann saidhbhir, pailteas stòras
Nam biodh Domhnall Bàn againn.

M'fhearann saidhbhir air gach taobh dhìom
Mo chrodh-laoigh air àirighean.

Tha i tighinn 's chann ann righinn
'S coireal, cridheil, gaiseil i.

Geig air mhaidean, geig air chnagan
Cochaill, mhachail, thraghannan.

Cùlanaich air chùl a chèile
'S iad sìor èigheach sgàth oirre.

An fhairge thonnach ghaoireach ghleannach
Thonnach shalach shràcbhalach.

An fhairge ag èirigh suas ma toiseach
Cupaill coiteal càirdeistach.

English Translation

(chorus)My land is rich o hùg à
'S i hù I hò if you liked it
My land is rich o hùg à

My land is productive with abundant stores
If we had fair-haired Donald.

My rich land surrounds me
My milk-cattle on shielings.

She approaches, not reluctantly
She is passionate, cheerful, strong.

Rattle on strakes, rattle on thole-pins
Her shell damaged and exhausted.

Waves piling up
Constantly shouting her destruction.

The billowing, restless, shelving,
Turbulent, dirty, tearing ocean.

The sea rising up round her prow
With shrouds straining and bracing.
