Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Gaol nam fear dubh, grinn, grinn
|
Most beloved of dark-haired men
|
|
Luaidh nan fear dubh, grinn, gasda
|
Most beloved of fine and handsome dark-haired men
|
|
Gaol nam fear dubh, grinn, grinn
|
Most beloved of dark-haired men
|
|
|
|
|
Eòghainn Duinn à Peighinn Dùin
|
Brown-haired Ewan from Peighinn Dùin
|
|
Dhan tug mi mo rùn 's mo thasgaidh
|
To whom I gave my love
|
|
|
|
|
Chunna mi air Fèill Phort Rìgh thu
|
I saw you at the Portree fair
|
|
B' e àilleagan measg mìle pears' thu
|
A jewel amongst a thousand folk
|
|
|
|
|
Fhèileadh ort den bhreacan uaine
|
Wearing a kilt of green check
|
|
'S leam as bòidhche bhith ga fhaicinn
|
How I loved to see it
|
|
|
|
|
Gaol nam fear dubh, grinn, grinn
|
Most beloved of dark-haired men
|
|
|
|
|
'Eil fhios dè a chum a-raoir thu
|
I wonder what kept you last night
|
|
'S nach robh 'n oidhche fuar no frasach?
|
When there was neither rain nor cold?
|
|
|
|
|
Tha fios nach do chum am t-sìd' thu
|
Surely the weather didn't keep you back
|
|
'S nach robh mìle slàn an astar
|
Without even a mile to travel
|
|
|
|
|
'S math an taic thu ri d' chàirdean
|
What a support you are to your kin
|
|
Guala' làidir, 's fheàirrd' iad ac' thu
|
A strong shoulder, they are the better for having you
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist...)
|
(Chorus...)
|
