|
Tra ta’n laa yn touree ceaut aym,
|
When the summer day is over
|
|
As e gheinys immit ta,
|
And its busy cares have flown,
|
|
Ta mee soie fo ny rollageyn,
|
I sit beneath the starlight
|
|
Lesh cree trome aym, goaill my ea.
|
With a weary heart, alone,
|
|
Shee ee myr ny scadoo girree,
|
Then rises like a vision,
|
|
Elian Vannin veen lhiam pene,
|
Sparkling bright in nature’s glee,
|
|
Marish reaid dy ghooghys urree,
|
My own dear Ellan Vannin
|
|
As croink glassey rish y cheayn.
|
With its green hills by the sea.
|
|
Paagey traie ny mooinjer-veggey,
|
Then I hear the wavelets murmur
|
|
Ta ny tonnyn coyrt thassane,
|
As they kiss the fairy shore,
|
|
Fo yn ushtey dowin as geayney,
|
Then beneath the em'rald waters
|
|
Ta’n ven-varrey goaill arrane.
|
Sings the mermaid as of yore,
|
|
Ta’n ellan soilshean ayns aalid,
|
And the fair Isle shines with beauty
|
|
Elian Vannin veg lhiam-pene,
|
As in youth it dawned on me,
|
|
Myr v’ee soilshean ayns my aegid,
|
My own dear Ellan Vannin
|
|
Lesh croink glassey rish y cheayn.
|
With its green hills by the sea.
|
|
Eisht ta cooinaght meigh as millish,
|
Then mem’ries sweet and tender
|
|
Cheet rhyms myr yn chiaulleeaght,
|
Come like music's plaintive flow,
|
|
Jeh ny creeaghyn ayns Mannin,
|
Of the hearts in Ellan Vannin
|
|
V’adsyn orrym’s fear graihagh,
|
That lov’d me long ago,
|
|
Marish jeir as bannaght ta mee
|
And I give with tears and blessings,
|
|
Coyrt smooinaght ennoil as beayn
|
My own fondest thoughts to thee,
|
|
Er my Vannin villish ghraihoil,
|
My own dear Ellan Vannin
|
|
Lesh croink glassey rish y cheayn.
|
With its green hills by the sea.
|
|
DYNYSS.
