Paroles:This Gaelic song recounts an immigrant's lament, in simple but poignant poetry,

on the numbing

experience of Gaels compelled to leave Scotland and settle in

the New World. The verses convey

potent impressions of the conditions of

starving refugee Highlanders. Imagine the dismay of a

people from treelesss

islands when they encountered the overwhelming Canadian forest.



The words here are edited from the singing of North Shore (Cape Breton)

gaelic singer Segan

(John Shaw) of Indian Brook (Abhainn a' Chbair).



(An Immigrant's Lament)



ho

r the subject of my thoughts

Great tonight is my mourning

ill I love you deeply



Although I didn't win you for myself



1. When I stand in the doorway, I see the forest

above my head.

My eyes begin to weep; my courage is overwhelmed.



2. I had three

brothers who I will forever recount.

It's a pity that I wasn't at the quay when they bid us

farewell.



3. When we arrived at the Table, my entire family was there:

my sister

and brother-in-law; without a strip of clothing on their backs.



4. A scraped cow's hide

fixed on my back and I was starving

with the hue of death coming over my face.



5.

If I had a creel and a sickle, the low seaweed and my own boat,

my children wouldn't be eating

gruel and I wouldn't be oppressed by this miserable land.
