Перевод песни Christmas at Sea - Sting

All day we fought the tides

Between the North Head and the South

All day we hauled the frozen sheets

To 'scape the storm's wet mouth

All day as cold as charity

In bitter pain and dread

For very life and nature

We tacked from head to head

Thograinn Thograinn

Thograinn thograinn bhith dol dhachaidh

E ho ro e ho ro

Gu Sgoirebreac a chruidh chaisfhinn

E ho hi ri ill iu o

Ill iu o thograinn falbh

Gu Sgoirebreac a' chruidh chais-fhionn

E ho ro e ho ro

Ceud soraidh bhuam mar bu dual dhomh

We gave the South a wider berth

For there the tide-race roared

But every tack we made we brought

The North Head close aboard

We saw the cliffs and houses

And the breakers running high

And the coastguard in his garden

His glass against his eye

E ho ro e ho ro

Gu Sgoirebreac a chruidh chaisfhinn

E ho hi ri ill iu o

Ill iu o thograinn falbh

The frost was on the village roofs

As white as ocean foam

The good red fires were burning bright

In every 'longshore home

The windows sparkled clear

And the chimneys volleyed out

And I vow we sniffed the victuals

As the vessel went about

Gu Sgoirebreac a chruidh chaisfhinn

E ho hi ri ill iu o

Ill iu o thograinn falbh

Gu Sgoirebreac a' chruidh chais-fhionn

E ho ro e ho ro

Ceud soraidh bhuam mar bu dual dhomh

The bells upon the church were rung

With a mighty jovial cheer

For it's just that I should tell you how

Of all days in the year

This day of our adversity

Was blessed Christmas morn

And the house above the coastguard's

Was the house where I was born

Gu Sgoirebreac a chruidh chaisfhinn

E ho hi ri ill iu o

Ill iu o thograinn falbh

Gu Sgoirebreac a' chruidh chais-fhionn

E ho ro e ho ro

Ceud soraidh bhuam mar bu dual dhomh

And well I knew the talk they had

The talk that was of me

Of the shadow on the household

And the son that went to sea

And, oh, the wicked fool I seemed

In every kind of way

To be here and hauling frozen ropes

On blessed Christmas Day

Gu Sgoirebreac a chruidh chaisfhinn

E ho hi ri ill iu o

Ill iu o thograinn falbh

Gu Sgoirebreac a' chruidh chais-fhionn

E ho ro e ho ro

Ceud soraidh bhuam mar bu dual dhomh
