Chi mi'n Geamhradh

Chi mi'n Geamhradh a's a' ghaoith
Chan eil an sneachd 'fada bhuainn
Sgo han dorch 's na craobhan ruisgt
Tha an oidhche nochd fuar

(I see winter in the wind
the snow is not far from us
dark clouds and naked trees
the night is so cold)

Shaoillin fhe/in gur ann an de
Bha teas an t-samhraidh 'gar leaghadh
Fad an fheasgair air an du
'S tu laighe leisg ri mo thaobh

(It seems like yesterday,
We bathed in the warmth of summer
As you lazed by my side
Throughout the afternoon on the dune)

Chorus:

'S iomadh oidhch 'a rinn sinn suiridhe
'S iomadh oidhch 'a rinn sinn gair
'S iomadh oidhch 'a bhithinn a' smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla rium gu bra h

(Many a night we courted
Many a night we laughed
And many a night I thought
That you would remain with me forever)

Chan fhan a ghrian fad na bliadhna
Cha sheas an uair mar a tha i
Dh'fhalbh thusa gu'n a' cheo
'S dh'fhag thu mi le mo gheamhradh

(The sun would not hold all year long
time would not stand still
You left me for the mists
Leaving me with my winter)

Chorus:

'S iomadh oidhch 'a rinn sinn suiridhe
'S iomadh oidhch 'a rinn sinn gair
'S iomadh oidhch 'a bhithinn a' smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla rium gu bra h

(Many a night we courted
Many a night we laughed
And many a night I thought
That you would remain with me forever)

Chi mi'n Geamhradh a's a' ghaoith
Chan eil an sneachd 'fada bhuainn
Sgo han dorch 's na craobhan ruisgt
Tha an oidhche nochd fuar

(I see winter in the wind
the snow is not far from us
dark clouds and naked trees
the night is so cold)

Chorus:

'S iomadh oidhch 'a rinn sinn suiridhe
'S iomadh oidhch 'a rinn sinn gair
'S iomadh oidhch 'a bhithinn a' smuaintinn
Gum bitheadh tu comhla rium gu bra h

(Many a night we courted
Many a night we laughed
And many a night I thought
That you would remain with me forever)

Comhla rium gu bra h

(with me forever)
