S mi ri imeachd nam aonar anns an og-mhadaim Mhaigh

Feadh leantaichean uaine mar fhear-fuadain gun stah,

Nuair a chunnaic mi a' ghruagach an taobh shuas dhiom a'tamh

's i ri nigh' a culd aodaich mach air aodann Srath Bhain.

An sin dhi

Ich mi suas far 'n robh gruagach mo ghraidh

Is labhair mi rithe gu siobhalta tiah;

"Tha bliadhn' agus co

R bhon a thoisich an gradh,

Is ma bhitheas tu deo

Ach ni sinn posadh gun dail."

"Gu posadh, gu posadh ro og tha mi 'n drasd'-

Gu bheil teang' aig do sheo

Sa dheanadh fogradh 's gach ait;

Gurn biodh m'athair 's mo mhahair gam chaindeadh gu brah

Nam posainn do leithid, O fhieasgaich gun stah."

Ach a nionagan oga tha gun phosadh 's gach ait',

Na dluaibh fir oga le mo

Chuis no tair.

Nach muladach dhomhsa bhith gun phosadh gu brah-

's fheudar fulreach nam aonar mach air aodann Srath Bhain.

(Translation) The Slopes Of Strath Ba

Walking out early alone on a morning in May

Among green fields, an outcast and purposeless,

I saw a maiden who lived some way above me

As she washed her clothes out on the slopes of Strath Ba

.

I then climbed upwards to the maiden I loved

And courteously and mildly I spoke to her:

"It's over a year since our love began,

And if you are willing we shall marry at once."

"Marry? I'm too young to marry just now-

Your sort has a tongue that could cause trouble anywhere;

My father and mother would scold me forever more

If I were to marry the likes of you, you feckless young man."

But you young girls everwhere who are still unmarried,

Don't go turning young men down through pride or contempt

How sad for me to be unmarried forever more-

I'll have to live alone, out on the slopes of Strath Ba
