Criomag Bhidio
Briathran Òran
I don’t know what to do
– Chan eil fios agam dè a nì mi
Thought I was righteously leading our people, but
– Bha mi a ‘smaoineachadh gu robh mi a’ stiùireadh ar daoine gu ceart, ach
Now I’m faced with the truth
– Tha mi a-nis a ‘ cur ris an fhìrinn
What kind of leader can’t tell good from evil?
– Dè a th ‘ ann an neach-lagha gun chead bho neach-lagha?
All those poor souls, how many could have been saved?
– A h-uile dad a dh ‘ fheumas tu a bhith agad mu shàbhailteachd?
How could I trust in a justice so cruel and depraved?
– Ciamar as urrainn dhomh earbsa a bhith agam ann an ceartas cho cruaidh agus cho truagh?
One seeks an answer that one can not grant her
– Tha aon a ‘ sireadh freagairt nach urrainn aon a thoirt dhi
You’re looking for light only you can ignite
– Chan eil thu ag iarraidh ach an solas a tha a dhìth ort
Every transgression must serve as a lesson
– Feumaidh a h-uile eucoir a bhith na leasan
Yesterday, you drew sorrow
– An-dè, tharraing thu bròn
What will you do tomorrow?
– Dè bhios tu a ‘ dèanamh a-màireach?
I feel no wiser than when I commanded the slaughter of those sons and daughters
– Chan eil mi a ‘faireachdainn nas glice na nuair a dh’ òrduich mi marbhadh nam mic agus nan nigheanan sin
(You can’t hide)
– (Chan urrainn dhut falach)
How can I be sure I don’t repeat more massacre based on mistaken conceit?
– Ciamar as urrainn dhomh a bhith cinnteach nach dèan mi a-rithist barrachd murt stèidhichte air beachd meallta?
(Look inside)
– (Seall a-staigh)
If I stand down and leave us exposed, would that be blind to the threat Hell may pose?
– Ma choimheadas mi air a ‘bhidio agus a choimheadas mi air an fhilm, an urrainn dhomh a bhith a’ coimhead air an fhilm?
You can’t know, though time flows on
– Chan urrainn dhut fios a bhith agad, ged a tha an ùine a ‘ sruthadh air
So you must bear the cross bestowed upon you
– Mar a chleachdas tu an làrach-lìn agad
Take pity, I pray
– Gabh truas, tha mi ag ùrnaigh
Give me a sign, what’s your guidance?
– Cuir fòn thugam, dè an stiùireadh a th ‘ agad?
Please show me the way
– Seall dhomh an t-slighe
You speak of choices made by other voices
– Tha thu a ‘ bruidhinn mu roghainnean a rinn guthan eile
You can only atone (Tell me how to atone)
– Can tho nail (Can tho nail)
Once you speak with your own
– Mar a bhruidhneas tu ri do leannan fhèin
If souls from damnation
– Ma tha anaman bho damnation
Can earn their salvation
– An urrainn dhaibh an saoradh a chosnadh
And find their forgiveness on high
– Agus lorg am maitheanas air àrd
How do I?
– Ciamar a tha mi?
