|
|
|
Ho mo nighean donn nan gobhar
|
Ho my brown-haired goatherdess
|
|
He mo nighean donn nan gobhar
|
Hey my brown-haired goatherdess
|
|
'S trom inntinneach mi 'nad dheidhidh
|
My mind is heavy since you left
|
|
'S bòidheachd siubhach mo nighean donn
|
Gracefully moves my brown-haired girl
|
|
Ho mo nighean donn nan gobhar
|
Ho my brown-haired goatherdess
|
|
|
|
|
Nighean donn as àille sealladh
|
Brown-haired lass of comely appearance
|
|
'S guirm do shùil na driuchd na maidne
|
Your eyes sparkle like the morning dew
|
|
An gaol a thug mi dhut a's t-earrach
|
The love I gave you in the spring
|
|
Cha teid e as m'aire chaoidh
|
I will never forget
|
|
Ho mo nighean donn nan gobhar
|
Ho my brown-haired goatherdess
|
|
|
|
|
Nighean donn bha ris na gàmhna
|
Brown-haired lass of the young goats
|
|
Bha mi uair 's bu mhór mo gheall ort
|
Great was the promise I once gave you
|
|
Dhut a thigeadh dhol dha'n dannsa
|
How lovely you looked when you would go dancing
|
|
Le gun srann aice dhe'n t-sid
|
With a silk gown wrapped around you
|
|
Ho mo nighean donn nan gobhar
|
Ho my brown-haired goatherdess
|
|
|
|
|
Dol dha'n chlachan air Di-dòmhnaich
|
Going to the church on Sundays
|
|
'S geal do stocainn 's dubh do bhrògan
|
With your white stockings and black shoes
|
|
'S truagh a'righ nach mi bha comh' riut
|
I am sad that I was not along with you
|
|
Ged nach pòsamaid a chaoidh
|
Although we will never marry
|
|
Ho mo nighean donn nan gobhar
|
Ho my brown-haired goatherdess
|
|
|
|
|
He mo nighean donn nan gobhar
|
Hey my brown-haired goatherdess
|
|
'S trom inntinneach mi 'nad dheidhidh
|
My mind is heavy since you left
|
|
'S bòidheachd siubhach mo nighean donn
|
Gracefully moves my brown-haired girl
|
|
Ho mo nighean donn nan gobhar
|
Ho my brown-haired goatherdess
|
