Chì mi na Mòrbheanna: I Will See the Great Mountains

 

 

 

O chì, chì mi na mòrbheanna

O chì, chì mi na corbheanna

O chì,  chì mi na coraichen

Chì mi na sgoran fo cheò.

 

Chì mi gun dàil an t-àite ‘san  d’rugadh mi

Cuirear orm failte ‘sa chanain a thuigeas mi

Gheibh mi ann aoidh agus gradh nuair ruigeam

Nach reicinn air thunnaichean òir.

 

O chì…

 

Chì mi ann coilltean, chì mi ann doreachan

Chì mi na maghan, bana ‘s toireache

Chì mi na fèidh air làr nan coraichean

Falaicht’ an trusgan de cheò.

 

O chì…

 

 Beanntaichean àrd ‘s aillidh leaceannan

Sluadh ann an còmhnaidh ‘s coire cleachdainnean

‘S aotrom mo cheum a’ leum ‘gam faicinn

‘S fanaidh mi tacan le deòin.

 

O chì…

 

 I will see the great mountains

I will see the lofty mountains

I will see the corries

Will see the peaks under mist 

 

I will see without delay the place I was born

I will be welcomed in a language I understand

I will get love and hospitality when I arrive

That I would not sell for tons of gold

 

 I will see…

 

I will see the woods, I will see the groves

I will see fields, fair and fertile

I will see deer on the floors of the corries

Hidden under a mantle of mist.

 

 I will see…

 

High mountains and beautiful slopes

People living there practicing kindness

My step is light, leaping to see them

And I will stay there willingly, a while.

 

I will see…
