Caitean air Uachdar Loch Eiriosort
Caitean air uachdar Loch Eiriosort
’s an t-anmoch ann,
bha an latha samraidh fada,
gruth is bàrr a’ coinneachadh:
tha an gaol a leanas fada
duilich a chur an cèill.
Ruaraidh MacThòmais
Translations of this Poem
A Ruffling on the Surface of Loch Erisort
A ruffling on the surface of Loch Erisort
at evening,
the summer day was long,
crowdie and cream meeting:
love that lasts long
is hard to put into words.
Derick Thomson
