Chorus
:
|
|
Ho mo nigh'nn donn bhòidheach
|
Ho my beautiful brown-haired girl
|
|
Nan gorm-shùil meallach
|
Of the bewitching blue eyes
|
|
'S e bhith riut a' còmhradh
|
To be with you
|
|
Ri m' bheò bu mhath leam
|
Forever is my wish
|
|
Ho mo nigh'nn donn bhòidheach
|
Ho my beautiful brown-haired girl
|
|
Nan gorm-shùil meallach
|
Of the bewitching blue eyes
|
|
|
|
|
'S mise ghabh an rùn dhìot
|
It was I who fell in love with you
|
|
Airson sealladh sùil dhìot
|
At first sight
|
|
Ciamar nì mi mhùchadh
|
How can I keep these feelings at bay
|
|
'S tu cho dlùth air m' aire?
|
With you so much in my thoughts?
|
|
Ho mo nigh'nn donn bhòidheach
|
Ho my beautiful brown-haired girl
|
|
Nan gorm-shùil meallach
|
Of the bewitching blue eyes
|
|
|
|
|
Banarach na buaile
|
Dairymaid of the field
|
|
Meur as grinne dh'fhuaighleas
|
With as dainty a finger as can sew
|
|
Chunnaic mi Diluain thu
|
I saw you on Monday
|
|
'Cur nan sguab air bhannaibh
|
Tying the sheaves in bands
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
'S binne leam do chòmhradh
|
I prefer your conversation
|
|
Na lòn-dubh no smeòrach
|
To the blackbird or mavis
|
|
'S iad a' seinn gu ceòlmhor
|
Singing so musically
|
|
Madainn cheòthach earraich
|
On a misty spring morning
|
|
Ho mo nigh'nn donn bhòidheach
|
Ho my beautiful brown-haired girl
|
|
Nan gorm-shùil meallach
|
Of the bewitching blue eyes
|
|
|
|
|
'S mise tha gu cianail
|
I am in a bad way
|
|
Tha mo cheann air liathadh
|
And my hair has turned gray
|
|
'S mi ri caoidh na ciad
|
Lamenting the one
|
|
Tè bh' agam riamh mar leannan
|
Who was my first love
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
