Dh 'éirich Mi Moch Madainn Chéitean
Chorus:
Fal il elileadh i o ro
Hiuraibh o `s na horo eileadh
Fal il eileadh i o ro
Verses:
Dh 'éirich mi moch maduinn Chéitean
Ma mhoch an diugh e moch an dé e
'S binn a chòisir rinn mi éisteachd
Smeòraichean air bhàrr nan geugan
Uisgeagan os cionn an t-sléibhe
'S bòidhiche fhiamh 's a' ghrian ag éirigh
Maduinn chiùin fo dhriùchd na speuran
Bric air linneachain a' leumraich
Crodh air àraidhaichean a' geumraich
Na laoigh bheag a' ruaig a chéile
I woke early one May morning
If it was early today, it was earlier yesterday.
Beautiful was the choir that I heard
Robins on the tops of the branches
Larks above the slopes
Beautiful was the image while the sun was rising
A calm morning covered in the dew of the skies
Trout jumping in the pools
Cattle bellowing in the field
The little calves chasing each other.
