S mi ri imeachd nam aonar anns an og-mhadaim Mhaigh
Feadh leantaichean uaine mar fhear-fuadain gun stah,
Nuair a chunnaic mi a' ghruagach an taobh shuas dhiom a'tamh
's i ri nigh' a culd aodaich mach air aodann Srath Bhain.
An sin dhi
Ich mi suas far 'n robh gruagach mo ghraidh
Is labhair mi rithe gu siobhalta tiah;
"Tha bliadhn' agus co
R bhon a thoisich an gradh,
Is ma bhitheas tu deo
Ach ni sinn posadh gun dail."
"Gu posadh, gu posadh ro og tha mi 'n drasd'-
Gu bheil teang' aig do sheo
Sa dheanadh fogradh 's gach ait;
Gurn biodh m'athair 's mo mhahair gam chaindeadh gu brah
Nam posainn do leithid, O fhieasgaich gun stah."
Ach a nionagan oga tha gun phosadh 's gach ait',
Na dluaibh fir oga le mo
Chuis no tair.
Nach muladach dhomhsa bhith gun phosadh gu brah-
's fheudar fulreach nam aonar mach air aodann Srath Bhain.
(Translation) The Slopes Of Strath Ba
Walking out early alone on a morning in May
Among green fields, an outcast and purposeless,
I saw a maiden who lived some way above me
As she washed her clothes out on the slopes of Strath Ba
.
I then climbed upwards to the maiden I loved
And courteously and mildly I spoke to her:
"It's over a year since our love began,
And if you are willing we shall marry at once."
"Marry? I'm too young to marry just now-
Your sort has a tongue that could cause trouble anywhere;
My father and mother would scold me forever more
If I were to marry the likes of you, you feckless young man."
But you young girls everwhere who are still unmarried,
Don't go turning young men down through pride or contempt
How sad for me to be unmarried forever more-
I'll have to live alone, out on the slopes of Strath Ba
Capercaillie is a Scottish folk band formed in the 1980s by Donald Shaw and fronted by Karen Matheson. The group originates from Argyll, a region of western Scotland and is named after the bird Capercaillie, Tetrao urogallus, which in the British Isles occurs only in Scotland. Capercaillie is known for its traditional Scottish music reinterpreted with modern and experimental influences. Their characteristic sound combines traditional melodies, orchestral arrangements and Matheson's powerful voice. Among their most representative songs are "Ailein Duinn", "The Parting Glass" and "Coigeach". The album "Còmhla" (1994) is considered a turning point in their career, achieving great success both in Scotland and abroad. Capercaillie has collaborated with numerous Scottish and international artists, contributing to the dissemination of traditional Scottish music worldwide.
