Ann an Caolas Od Odram
Ann an caolas od odram far an coidleadh an ròn
‘S far nach cluinte guth duin’ ach fuaim tuinne ‘s glog geoidh
Muime ‘g altram a pàistean ‘s i gan tàladh gu ciùin
Gu bheil tulgadh nan cuantan ga sìor luasgadh nan suain
Muime ‘g altram a pàistean ‘s i gan tàladh gu ciùin
Gu bheil tulgadh nan cuantan ga sìor luasgadh nan suain
An ròn rìoghail a’ gusgail ‘n eala guileag ri thaobh
A’ mhaighdeann-mhara ‘s i bruadar anns an uaigneas air laoch

‘S far nach cluinte guth duin’ ach fuaim tuinne ‘s glog geoidh
In the Narrows of Od Odram
In the narrows of Od Odram where the seals sleep
And where nobody’s voice is heard, only the sound of waves
A mother nurses her children and cradles them calmly
And the tossing of the sea calms them down
A mother nurses her children and cradles them calmly
And the tossing of the sea calms them down
The regal seal cuddles the swan next to it
The mermaid is a dream in a hero’s solitude
The regal seal cuddles the swan next to it
The mermaid is a dream in a hero’s solitude
In the narrows of Od Odram where the seals sleep
And where nobody’s voice is heard, only the sound of waves
