My son is almost three
– Tha mo mhac aig trì
He used to look just like his dad
– Bha e a ‘ coimhead dìreach mar athair
But right now he looks just like me
– Ach a-nis tha e dìreach mar a tha mi
And as far as I can see, the fruit I bear is sweet
– Mar a tha mi a ‘faicinn, tha an toradh a tha mi a’ giùlan milis
But the apple’s rolling real far from the tree
– Ach tha an t-ubhal a ‘ roiligeadh fìor fada bhon chraoibh
And falling down the hill so full of love and so carefree
– Agus a ‘tuiteam sìos a’ bheinn cho làn de ghràdh agus cho carefree
I wonder if the world will treat him any better than it treated me
– Tha mi a ‘smaoineachadh gum bi an saoghal a’ dèiligeadh ris nas fheàrr na bha e a ‘ dèiligeadh rium
But papa, don’t you preach
– Dad, no preach
I tried to teach him every day that nothing good is free, but always should be
– Dh’fheuch mi ri teagasg dha a h-uile latha nach eil dad math an-asgaidh, ach bu chòir an-còmhnaidh a bhith
And with my roots above and all my branches down below
– Agus le m ‘ fhreumhan gu h-àrd agus mo gheugan uile sìos gu h-ìosal
Please tell my boy I love him so
– Innis dha do charaid gu bheil gaol agam air
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
– Innis don t-saoghal gum feum mi fàs mus fhalbh mi
I just wanted you to know
– Bha mi dìreach airson fios a bhith agad
That I believe in magic and I believe in sin
– Tha mi a ‘creidsinn ann an draoidheachd agus tha mi a’ creidsinn ann am peacadh
I still believe in Heaven, if they’ll never let me in
– Tha Mi fhathast a ‘ creidsinn Ann An Nèamh, mura leig iad a-steach mi
I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin
– Bha mi a ‘faireachdainn mar a bha mi a’ faireachdainn nuair a choinnich mi ri mo leannan
I think I might start tryin’ because I haven’t been
– Tha mi a’ smaoineachadh gum b ‘urrainn dhomh tòiseachadh a ‘feuchainn’ oir cha robh mi air a bhith
My Momma’s getting old
– Tha mo mhàthair fo aois
Well, it’s contagious and you’ll catch it like a cold
– Tha e cho fuar ris a ‘ phuinnsean you will catch like a cold
She won’t admit it, but it’s something that I know
– Chan eil e gu diofar, ach tha e rudeigin a tha fios agam
‘Cause every year that passes for me passes her a hundredfold
– ‘Adhbhar gach bliadhna a tha a’ dol seachad orm a ‘ dol seachad oirre ceud uiread
Back in the day, my dad and I would share a laugh at all of her mistakes
– Air ais san latha, bhiodh m ‘athair agus mi a’ roinn gàire aig a h-uile mearachdan aice
But that alliance didn’t save me from her fate
– Ach cha do shàbhail an caidreachas sin mi bhon dàn aice
No, it didn’t, I’m still twenty-eight
– Cha robh, tha mi fhathast fichead ‘ s a h-ochd
Became a single mom, just crushed under a rake
– Thàinig e gu bhith na aon mhàthair, dìreach air a phronnadh fo ràc
Of a child growing faster than I think that I can take
– Leanabh a tha a ‘fàs nas luaithe na tha mi a’ smaoineachadh
I love him anyway
– Tha gaol agam air co-dhiù
And I remind myself a time will come when he sees me turn grey
– Agus tha mi a ‘cur nam chuimhne mi fhìn thig àm nuair a chì e mi a’ tionndadh liath
And realize it’s too late, like I did with my mother
– Agus tuigidh tu gu bheil e ro fhadalach, mar a rinn mi le mo mhàthair
So now I tell her to her face
– A-nis tha mi ag innse dha aghaidh ri aghaidh
With my roots above and all my branches down below
– Le m ‘ fhreumhan gu h-àrd agus mo gheugan uile sìos gu h-ìosal
Please tell my mom I love her so
– Innis dha do mhàthair gu bheil gaol agam ort
Please tell the world I have to grow before I go
– Innis don t-saoghal gum feum mi fàs mus fhalbh mi
I just wanted you to know
– Bha mi dìreach airson fios a bhith agad
That I believe in magic and I still believe in sin
– Gu bheil mi a ‘creidsinn ann an draoidheachd agus tha mi fhathast a’ creidsinn ann am peacadh
I still believe in Heaven, if they’ll never let me in
– Tha Mi fhathast a ‘ creidsinn Ann An Nèamh, mura leig iad a-steach mi
I started to believe in love the day I met my little twin
– Bha mi a ‘faireachdainn mar a bha mi a’ faireachdainn nuair a choinnich mi ri mo leannan
And I might start tryin’ because I haven’t been
– Agus is dòcha gun tòisich mi a’ feuchainn ‘ oir cha robh mi air a bhith
I haven’t been, da-da-da-da
– Cha robh mi ann, ge-tà
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– Da-da-da-da-la-la-la
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– Da-da-da-da-la-la-la
Da-da-da-da-la-la
– Da-da-da-da-la-la-la
I love him so
– Tha gaol agam air mar sin
