|
|
Gu ma slàn a chì mi
|
Healthy do I see you
|
|
Mo chailin dìleas donn
|
My faithful brown-haired lass
|
|
Bean a chuailein réidh air
|
Damsel of the well-groomed tresses
|
|
An deas a dh'éireadh fonn
|
Singer of the songs
|
|
'Si cainnt do bheòil bu bhinne leam
|
The words from your mouth so sweet for me
|
|
An uair bhiodh m'inntinn trom
|
When my mind was melancholy
|
|
'S tu thogadh suas mo chridh'
|
And you uplifted my heart
|
|
'Nuair bhiodh tu bruidheann riùm
|
Whenever you spoke to me
|
|
|
|
|
Gur muladach a tà mi
|
Despondent I am
|
|
'S mi nochd air aird a' chuain
|
Tonight on the high seas
|
|
'S neo-shunndach mo chadal dhomh
|
And uneasy my sleep
|
|
'S do chaidreamh fada bhuam
|
Your companionship far from me
|
|
Gur tric mi ort a smaointeach'
|
Often do I think of you
|
|
As t'aogais tha mi truagh
|
As your image leaves me sad
|
|
'Is mar a dean mi d' fhaotainn
|
And if I can not have you
|
|
Cha bhi mo shaoghal buan
|
My world will not last
|
|
|
|
|
Tacan mu'n do sheòl sinn
|
A short time before we sailed
|
|
Is ann a thòisich càch
|
That's when others began
|
|
Ri innse do mo chruinneag-sa
|
To tell you, my own darling
|
|
Nach tillin-sa gu brath
|
That I would not return
|
|
Na cuireadh sud ort gruaimean
|
Do not let that disturb you
|
|
A luaidh, ma bhios mi slàn
|
My dear, if I am well
|
|
Cha chùm dad idir 'uat mi
|
Nothing will ever keep me from you
|
|
Ach saighead chruaidh a'bhàis
|
But the cold arrow of death
|
