English Translation

|
|
|
|
|
Och, ochan a righ
|
Alas and alack
|
|
Gura tinn an galair an gradh
|
What a deadly sickness is love
|
|
Chan eil neach air am bi
|
There is none who suffers it
|
|
Nach saoil gura seach dainn gach la
|
But feels every day is a week
|
|
Gunn bhrist e mo chridh
|
It has broken my heart
|
|
'S gun sgaoil e cuislean mo shlaint
|
And sapped the springs of my health
|
|
Bhith 'g amharc ad dheidh
|
To keep gazing after you
|
|
A gheug a'bhrollaich ghil bhain
|
Young of the fair white bosom
|
|
Ghil bhain
|
White bosom
|
|
|
|
|
A bhuachaille bhain
|
Fair-haired lad
|
|
Ma 's aill leat labhairt air thuis
|
If you but care to speak first
|
|
Gura leatsa gun dail mo lamh
|
My hand shall be yours without delay
|
|
Ma thig thu rim dluth
|
If you come for me
|
|
Gur truagh mar ta
|
Play it is true
|
|
Nach d'tharlaidh mis'agus thu
|
You and I did not find ourselves
|
|
An eilein gun truagh
|
On an island with no ebb
|
|
Gun ramh, gun choite, gun stiuir
|
With no oar, no boat, no rudder
|
|
Gun stiuir
|
No rudder
|
|
|
|
|
Na faiceadh sibh geug
|
If you could see such a shoot
|
|
'S i 'g eirigh maduinn chiuin cheo
|
Springing up on a calm misty morning
|
|
Le pearsa dha reiri iu
|
With looks to go with it
|
|
Ceudan mhealladh 'nan doigh
|
To win the hearts of thousands
|
|
Gur binne do bheul
|
Sweeter is your voice
|
|
Na teudan thidheall ri ceol
|
Than the strings of violins playing
|
|
Nach truagh leat mi 'd dheidh
|
Can you not take pity on me
|
|
Leam fhein air cnoc ri bron
|
Alone without you, lamenting on a knoll?
|
|
Ri bron
|
Lamenting
|
|
|
|
|
Och, ochan a righ
|
Alas and alack
|
|
Gura tinn an galair an gradh
|
What a deadly sickness is love
|
|
Chan eil neach air am bi
|
There is none who suffers it
|
|
Nach saoil gura seach dainn gach la
|
But feels every day is a week
|
|
Gunn bhrist e mo chridh
|
It has broken my heart
|
|
'S gun sgaoil e cuislean mo shlaint
|
And sapped the springs of my health
|
|
Bhith 'g amharc ad dheidh
|
To keep gazing after you
|
|
A gheug a'bhrollaich ghil bhain
|
Young of the fair white bosom
|
|
Ghil bhain
|
White bosom
|
|
Ghil bhain
|
White bosom
|
