Capercaillie
Cascade
Eilan A'Cheo
Though my head is grey,
With trials and tribulations,
My fifty years are sunshine
On twilight under the clouds;
My mind is filled
With a request that is too great,
To see Eilean Sciathach
The chants and the fog.
It's been more than forty years
Since I came from you to make me.
And I put down my beer
In the middle of a big city;
Even though I found a fisherman
That filled my house with a store,
I was always mindful of you
And I wanted to be yours.
But who has ears
Or a heart that moves alive,
Shall I not sing this ballad
About the misery that has come upon us?
The losses that has been cleared
Across the ocean without part, and without fault,
The desire of the heart and the thoughts
On the Isle of Lamb' of the Fog.
Now, remember your hardship,
Keep up your roll;
May the wheel go around you
With the strength and hardness of the fists;
May your cattle be beaten
And every farmer on his way;
And the English be kidnapped
O Eilean uain' a Cheo.
The Misty Isle (Skye)
Although my head has greyed
With forgetfulness and sadness,
And the sun of my fifty years
Has darkened under the clouds;< br/>My thoughts are filled
With a great desire,
To see the Isle of Skye
The elements and the mist.
It is more than forty years
Since I left you willingly,
And I put down my roots
In the middle of the city;
And although I married a fisherman
Who filled my house with wealth,
You are forever in my mind
And I long to be in your shelter.
But who has ears,
Or a heart which beats with life
Who will not sing this song with me
About the hardship which has befallen us?
The thousands who were cleared
Deprived of their belongings and their rights,
The desires of their hearts and their thoughts
Are on the Green Isle of the Mist.
Now remember your hardship,
And keep your banner flying;
For the wheel (of change) will not go round for you
Without strength and hardness of fist;
Your cattle will be in their folds,
And every farmer will be happy -
And the English would be ousted
From the Green Isle of the Mist.
