English Translation

|
|
|
|
Gura mi tha trom duilich
|
I am heavy and sad
|
|
Air m' uilinn san luachair
|
On my elbow in the rushes
|

Chorus
:
|
|
Na hì liù lèill o
|
Na hì liù lèill o
|
|
Hò ro mo chuachag
|
Hò ro mo chuachag
|
|
Na hì liù lèill o
|
Na hì liù lèill o
|
|
|
|
|
Mi ri buachailleachd sprèidhe
|
Herding cattle
|
|
Nach toir leam às a' bhuaraich
|
That will not jump from the fetter
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Mi ri buachailleachd sheasgach
|
Herding farrow cattle
|
|
Nach tig feasgar gu buaile
|
That will not come home at evening
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Na hì liù lèill o
|
Na hì liù lèill o
|
|
|
|
|
Chan e cùram an àitich
|
It is not anxiety for the homestead
|
|
A dh'fhàg mise fo ghruaimean
|
That left me disconsolate
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Ach eagal mo chuspair
|
But fear for my lover
|
|
Ma chumas iad uam e
|
If they keep him from me
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Cha b' fhada bhiodh mo leannan
|
My sweetheart would not be long
|
|
Tighinn à beannaibh a' chuailein
|
Coming from the misty bens
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mo chreist-s' air a' ghille
|
My choice is the lad
|
|
Aig 'eil fios air na h-uairean
|
Who knows the hours
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Aig 'eil fios air a' mhionaid
|
And knows the very minute
|
|
Air an ruigeadh e 'ghruagach
|
He will meet his maiden
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist)
|
(Chorus)
|
|
|
|
|
Chan e uisg' an lòin shalaich
|
It is not water from the diry pool
|
|
Thug mo leannan an cuan leis
|
That my lover took with him to sea
|
|
|
|
|
Na hì liù lèill o
|
Na hì liù lèill o
|
|
|
|
|
Uisge beatha na Spàinne
|
Spanish whisky
|
|
Fìon làidir gun truailleadh
|
Strong, unadulterated wine
|
|
|
|
|
(Sèist...)
|
(Chorus...)
|
