Текст песни Do Chalum (To Calum) (Julie Fowlis) с переводом

Chalum, a rùin,

on a dh' eug thu

‘s airsnealach, tinn

as do dhèidh sinn;

geàrr bha do rèis,

geàrr do shaoghal,

buan an creuchd

bheum do dhaoine.

‘S tusa bha mear,

èibhinn, aotrom,

dealasach, ceart,

eirmseach, daonda;

fulganach, treun

gleac ri eucail,

gun fhiamh, gun ghealt

ri uchd èig thu.

Sgoilear gun mheang,

tuigseach, gleusda

thionail ar fuinn,

thruis gach sgeulachd.

Choisinn thu cliù

thall an Èirinn

‘s bhos an Alba

mòr bha dh’fheum ort.

Blàth bha do chrìdh,

fialaidh, mùirneach

macanta, còir,

coibhneil, fiùghant';

fuaraidh an nochd

aognaidh, tùrsach

gaoth anns a' bheàrn

nach gabh dùnadh.

Beloved Calum

Since you died

we are

sorrowful, ill;

short your time

short your life

enduring the wound

a blow to your people.

You were playful

amusing, light-hearted,

committed, correct,

witty, humane;

long-suffering, brave,

combating disease,

unflinching, uncowardly

in the face of death.

A flawless scholar

understanding, shrewd,

who gathered our songs

and many stories.

You earned a good reputation

over in Ireland

and here in Scotland

you were greatly needed.

Your heart was warm

generous, joyful,

gentle, good

kindly, liberal;

chilly tonight

gloomy, sad

the wind in the gap

that cannot be closed.
