Little by Little Beag air Bheag

Tha mi sgìth - the fourth verse

In the fourth verse, the thwarted lover is expressing how different he feels to his companions in the fairy knoll! The terms that appear are:

sìthean

fairy-hill/knoll

cridhe

heart

leònadh

wound

càch

others

luinneag

song

crònan

drone

The first two lines are:

Anns an t-sìthean, o, gur sgìth mi;
'S tric mo chridhe ga leònadh

In the fairy hill (or knoll, but I like fairy hill), oh I will be tired,
And often my heart would be wounded

The verse concludes:

Nuair bhios càch a' seinn nan luinneag,
Cha dèan mis' ach crònan

When others sing their songs,
I will do nothing but drone

The whole verse together is:

Anns an t-sìthean, o, gur sgìth mi,
'S tric mo chridh ga leònadh,
Nuair bhios càch a' seinn nan luinneag,
Cha dèan mis' ach crònan.

In the fairy hill (or knoll, but I like fairy hill), oh I will be tired,
And often my heart would be wounded,
When others sing their songs,
I will do nothing but drone
