Ann an caolas od odram


Ann an caolas od odram far an coidleadh an ròn

‘S far nach cluinte guth duin’ ach fuaim tuinne ‘s glog geoidh

Muime ‘g altram a pàistean ‘s i gan tàladh gu ciùin

Gu bheil tulgadh nan cuantan ga sìor luasgadh nan suain


Muime ‘g altram a pàistean ‘s i gan tàladh gu ciùin

Gu bheil tulgadh nan cuantan ga sìor luasgadh nan suain

An ròn rìoghail a’ gusgail ‘n eala guileag ri thaobh

A’ mhaighdeann-mhara ‘s i bruadar anns an uaigneas air laoch

In the narrows of Od Odram


In the narrows of Od Odram where the seals sleep

And where nobody’s voice is heard, only the sound of waves

A mother nurses her children and cradles them calmly

And the tossing of the sea calms them down


A mother nurses her children and cradles them calmly

And the tossing of the sea calms them down

The regal seal cuddles the swan next to it

The mermaid is a dream in a hero’s solitude


The regal seal cuddles the swan next to it

The mermaid is a dream in a hero’s solitude

In the narrows of Od Odram where the seals sleep

And where nobody’s voice is heard, only the sound of waves
