Lyrics - Am Buchaille by Capercaillie

Here is the song "
Am buchaille ban" which
Capercaillie do a lovelyversion of on their
Crosswinds album.
I was sent these words by
John
Angus
Macleod of
Gaidhlig
Aig
Deas, who got them from someone at
An
Comunn
Gaidhealach.
John
Angus wrote a song (
Na laithean a bh'ann) for
Karen of
Capercaillie, which she broadcast on
Radio nan
Gaidheal.
If anyone whould like to translate this,
I would really appreciate it.
What is a "gini" ?

Och ochan a
Righ, gur tinn an galair an gradh; chan eil neach air am bi nach saoil gur seachdain gach la
Gun d'bhrist e mo chridh 's gun d'sgaoil e cuislean mo shlaint'
Bhith 'g amharc ad dhe/idh, a gheug, a bhroillich ghil bhain, ghil bhain.2.
Nam faiceadh tu geug 's i 'g e/irigh, madainn chiuin cheo le maise da re/ir ni ceudan mhealladh 'nan doigh -
Gur binne do bheul na teudan fhidheall ri ceol, '
S nach truagh leat mi 'd dhe/idh leam fhe/in air cnocan ri bron, ri bron.3. '
S ma the/id thu air sraid, a ghraidh, biodh gini 'nad phoc,
Is ol mo dheoch-slaint' gach ait an suidh thu m'an bhord,
An cridhe geal fialaidh, eutrom aighearach og, '
S gur milis leam fhe/in am beul o'n tigeadh an ceol, an ceol.4.
A bhuachaille bhain, ma's aill leat labhairt air thus, '
S ann leat-sa gun dail mo lamh ma thig thu rium dluth;
Is truagh mar a ta nach d'tharaidh mis' agus tu
Ann an eilean gun traigh, gun ramh, gun choite, gun stiuir, gun stiuir.
