Oh Mo Dhuthaich (englische Übersetzung) Lyrics

Oh My Country  
 
O my country are on my mind 
Fresh, fragrant Uist of the saplings, 
Where the noble men are found 
Who gave their hereditary allegiance to "Mac ic Ailein". 
 
Land of seabed, land of barley 
Land of abundance of every kind 
Where the young lads will be 
Singing songs and drinking beer 
 
They will come to us cunning and wily 
In order to entice us from our homes 
They will praise Manitoba to us 
A cold country with no coal and no peat! 
 
I don`t need to say 
That when we reach it we`ll see it 
A short summer and a peaceful autumn 
A long winter of bad weather. 
 
If I had riches 
A change of clothes and a pair of shoes 
And my prayer in my pocket 
It is to Uist that I would be sailing.
