~SALM NA MARA - PSALM OF THE SEA~

Èist ri guth na mara guirm~ Listen to the blue sea's voice
a' suathadh ris an tràigh~rubbing against the shore,
is gabh a comhairle le suim~accept its advice with respect
le mùithteachd ann a dàn.~inconstancy being its nature.

à tàladh ùidh bho thoiseach tìm~stirring desire since time began
gu seòladh air a druim~to sail upon its back
le biadh ri thrusadh tro gach linn~and garner food, through centuries,
bho chladaichean 's bho thuinn~from shoreline and through waves.

an dream bha 'n urra ris a' ghaoith~it was folk dependent on the winds
's a sheòl bho chuan gu cuan~who sailed from sea to sea,
gun dh' fhosgail iad ar tuisge dhuinn~who opened up our knowledge
de chruinne 'n iomadh duan.~of a world of many songs.

tha dìomhaireachdan iongantach~there are many marvellous mysteries
fo bharraibh glann nan tonn~beneath the clean tops of the waves,
is beatha-chruth na lìonmhorachd~and innumerable life-forms
tro dhoimhneachdan gu bonn.~through depths down to the bottom.

Chorus:

ach chuinn na bha mar fhìrinn chruaidh~but hear what was told as hard fact
do mhàirnealaich nan còrs'~by mariners on those coasts-
na bòcain a thug orra 'm buaidh~the bogies that might influence them
mus rachadh cas air bòrd~before they'd set foot on board.

tha uilebheistean air an gairm,~monsters are called upon, as are,
droch-bheusan 's iomadh taibhs,~bad manners and many ghosts,
gach rabhd is ròlaist anns an t-seirm~all rhymes and exaggerations in the sermon
neo-'r-thaing gun sibhinn  dàimh~ungratefulness, without regard to kinship.

na dèanaibh fead mus tog sibh gaoth~don't whistle lest you raise the wind
is seachnaibh còmhlan mhnà- ~avoid the company of women
siud beachdan bhon a' chidhe chlaon,~these beliefs from a skewed quay,
gun chasg riamh air uchd làn~ never prevented a full hold.

is èist ri guth nan sùmainn àrd~listen to the high billows voices,
nuair tha thu eadar thìr- ~when you are out between lands,
's ann aca tha an cumhachd làn~for it's they, that have the full force
a dh' iarras bhuat a' chis~which will demand of you the price.

Chorus:

Sealli 'n-diugh mar sgàthan grèin~look at it today, a mirror to the sun
A' togail cridhe 'n t-sluaigh~lifting the hearts of everyone,
a'  tabhaimm dhuinn a teas mar sheun~offering its heat like a charm
a gheallas dhuinn a buaidh~that promises us its influence.

ach thug i truedan thar a bàrr~but it took many across its surface,
a-null gu talamh ùr,~driven away to a new land
oir ged a b' èiginn 's mall an tàir,~their slow crossing was an anguish,
bu bhrònach dhaibh am mùth~the change was grievous to them.

bu sinne dh'fhuirich ann a dhlùths~but we remained in this vicinity
dhan robh an cuan an stòr~where the ocean was a store
a thug dhuinn cobhair is a dhùisg~that gave us support and delivered
cuid mhath a bhiadhtachd oirnn.~a good share of its generosity to us.

is ged nach bia daonnan sèimh~and though it's not always tranquil
tha 'n cuan na chairaid dhuinn~this ocean is our friend
le àilleachd, is thar àireamh ghnè~with its beauty and countless species
nan saidhbhreas fo na tuinn~as a richness beneath the waves.
