A2 - Beginners : Learn a Gaelic song - Tha mi sgìth

Tha mi sgìth - the second verse

How did you get on? Now try the second verse:

còdhail

meeting

sireadh

pleading, search

Let’s try the first two lines:

O nam faicinn thu a' tighinn,
Ruithinn dhol nad chòdhail

If I saw you coming,
I would run to meet you

The verse continues:

Ach mur tig thu 'n seo gam shireadh,
Ciamar a thilleas dòchas?

But if you don’t come here to search for me,
How can hope return?

The verse in full is:

O nam faicinn thu a' tighinn,
Ruithinn dhol nad chòdhail,
Ach mur tig thu 'n seo gam shireadh,
Ciamar a thilleas dòchas?

If I saw you coming,
I would run to meet you,
But if you don’t come here to search for me,
How can hope return?
