|
|
|
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi
|
My love whom I will not forsake
|
|
Cho fad's a dheanadh firinn e
|
As long as truth shall stand
|
|
Gun aithnichinn ceum na h-ighneig
|
I would recognize the step of my love
|
|
Measg nam miltean air a'chabhsair
|
Amongst the thousands on the pavement
|
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi
|
My love whom I will not forsake
|
|
|
|
|
Shaorainn, shaorainn, shaorainn thu
|
I would free you from anything
|
|
Air m'fhacal fhin gu faodainn sin
|
On my word, I would do that
|
|
Nan creideadh clann nan daoine mi
|
If mankind would believe me
|
|
Gu saorainn Mairi ghreannmhor
|
I would free beautiful Mary
|
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi
|
My love whom I will not forsake
|
|
|
|
|
Shaorainn agus shorainn thu
|
I would free you
|
|
Mhionnaichinn agus bhoidichinn
|
I would give my oath and vow
|
|
Nach d'fhuair mi riamh do eolas ort
|
That since making your acquaintance
|
|
Mar tug mi greis air cainnt riut
|
I have found no vices
|
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi
|
My love whom I will not forsake
|
|
|
|
|
Shaorainn fhin gun teagamh thu
|
I would most definitely spare you
|
|
Ged b'ann air bheulaibh seisein e
|
Even if it were in front of the Kirk Session
|
|
Is nam b'e b'fhearr gum posadh mi
|
And should I marry
|
|
B'e tu mo cheud bean-bainnse
|
You would be my first choice of bride
|
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi
|
My love whom I will not forsake
|
|
|
|
|
Tha falt bachlach, dualach ort
|
Your hair is curly and ringletted
|
|
Gu bharr a' fas na chuaileinean
|
To the very tip of each strand
|
|
Do phog mar mhil nam bruachagan
|
Your kiss like the honeycomb
|
|
'S do shnuadh air dhreach an t-samhraidh
|
And your complexion the color of summer
|
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi
|
My love whom I will not forsake
|
|
|
|
|
Cho fad's a dheanadh firinn e
|
As long as truth shall stand
|
|
Gun aithnichinn ceum na h-ighneig
|
I would recognize the step of my love
|
|
Measg nam miltean air a'chabhsair
|
Amongst the thousands on the pavement
|
|
Mo ghaol an te nach diobair mi
|
My love whom I will not forsake
|
