|
|
|
Nuair a chì thu caileag bhòidheach
|
Whenever you see a pretty young girl
|
|
Bidh thu 'n tòir orr' airson oidhch'
|
You'll be in pursuit of her for one night
|
|
'S iomadh cron tha 'n cois an t-seòrsa
|
There's much pain connected with her like
|
|
Gun thu bhi eòlach air an cainnt
|
Without being familiar with her talk
|
|
Ach innse mi mar ghaol na h-òige
|
But I shall tell you of the love of the young
|
|
Mura bheil mo chòmhradh meallt
|
Unless I'm mistaken
|
|
Théid e seachad mar na sgòthan
|
It passes like the clouds
|
|
'S mar na neòil tha os ar cionn
|
And the stars above
|
|
|
|
|
'S mar na neòil tha os ar cionn
|
And the stars above
|
|
'S mar na neòil tha os ar cionn
|
And the stars above
|
|
Théid e seachad mar na sgòthan
|
It passes like the clouds
|
|
'S mar na neòil tha os ar cionn
|
And the stars above
|
|
|
|
|
Làtha dhòmh's mi falbh air turas
|
One day as I was on my way
|
|
Thachair buidheann rium 'sa ghleann
|
I came upon a company in the glen
|
|
Càraid òg a' dèanamh cuideachd
|
A young couple on their own
|
|
Coltas rùn mo chridh' bhi ann
|
She resembled the love of my heart
|
|
Theann mi ceum a-steach na b'aisg orr'
|
I approached them to get closer
|
|
Feuch a faicinn ceart cò bh'ann
|
So that I could see better who it was
|
|
Chrom i sios is ghabh i nàire
|
She bowed her head and felt ashamed
|
|
'S dheàrrs an t-sùil a bha na ceann
|
And her eyes were gleaming
|
|
|
|
|
'S dheàrrs an t-sùil a bha na ceann
|
And her eyes were gleaming
|
|
'S dheàrrs an t-sùil a bha na ceann
|
And her eyes were gleaming
|
|
Chrom i sios is ghabh i nàire
|
She bowed her head and felt ashamed
|
|
'S dheàrrs an t-sùil a bha na ceann
|
And her eyes were gleaming
|
|
|
|
|
Bhuail an saighead mi 's a mhionaid
|
The arrow struck me at that moment
|
|
'S thuirt mi rithe na gabh nàir'
|
And I told her not to be ashamed
|
|
Faodaidh tu bhi cuidhteas mise
|
You can be rid of me
|
|
'S mi bhi cuidhteas tu gu bràth
|
And I can be rid of you forever
|
|
Ach théid sinn aon uair eile còmhla
|
But we shall get together once more
|
|
'S ni sinn còrd gun fhios do chàch
|
And make a pact without anyone knowing
|
|
'S ma se thusa rinn am briseadh
|
And were it to be you who broke it all off
|
|
Gabhaidh mis' an rathad àrd
|
I shall take the high road
|
|
|
|
|
Gabhaidh mis' an rathad àrd
|
I shall take the high road
|
|
Gabhaidh mis' an rathad àrd
|
I shall take the high road
|
|
'S ma se thusa rinn am briseadh
|
And were it to be you who broke it all off
|
|
Gabhaidh mis' an rathad àrd
|
I shall take the high road
|
|
|
|
|
Gabhaidh mis' an rathad àrd
|
I shall take the high road
|
|
Gabhaidh mis' an rathad àrd
|
I shall take the high road
|
|
'S ma se thusa rinn am briseadh
|
And were it to be you who broke it all off
|
|
Gabhaidh mis' an rathad àrd
|
I shall take the high road
|
