|
|
|
Tionndaidh am bàt' agus till leam a nall
|
Turn the boat and return with me
|
|
'S a dh'ionnsuidh mo phàisde gun téid mi le fonn
|
And I'll go happily toward my girl
|
|
Dean gluasad gun dàil gus am faigh mi a geall
|
Move quickly that I may get her promise
|
|
Tionndaidh am bàt' agus till leam a nall
|
Turn the boat and return with me
|
|
|
|
|
A dh'aindeoin 's na thiall mise deas agus tuath
|
In spite of where I've travelled southward and northward
|
|
Chaoidh chan iarr mi a baile mo luaidh
|
I'd never wish to leave my love's village
|
|
'S ann tha mo rùn-sa a' gabhail gach là
|
That is where she passes each day
|
|
'S tha làrach a ceum far na dh'eirich i'n àird
|
And her footprints mark where she climbed the heights
|
|
|
|
|
'Gad ionndrainn, 'gad ionndrain 's mi seòladh a' chuain
|
Missing you, missing you as I sail the ocean
|
|
Chan eil maduinn no oidhche nach 'eil thu 'nam smuain
|
Neither morning nor night are you far from my mind
|
|
'Gad choimhead 'nam dhusgadh 'gad choimhead 'nam shuain
|
Seeing you in waking seeing you in sleep
|
|
O fiamh do ghnùis 's e dhrùidh mi a luaidh
|
Oh the color of your cheek has pierced me through, my love
|
|
|
|
|
'S ma leanas tu mise 's gum faigh mi do làmh
|
And if you'll follow me and I get your hand
|
|
Ni sinn ar slighe chun an altair gun dàil
|
We'll make our way to the altar without delay
|
|
'S ann an sin bhios an ceangal bhios daingeann, a ghraidh
|
There we'll tie the binding knot, my love
|
|
'S bheir sinn boidean a' phòsaidh a sheasas gu bràth
|
And we'll give our marriage vows which will stand forever
|
|
|
|
|
Tionndaidh am bàt' agus till leam a nall
|
Turn the boat and return with me
|
|
'S a dh'ionnsuidh mo phàisde gun téid mi le fonn
|
And I'll go happily toward my girl
|
|
Dean gluasad gun dàil gus am faigh mi a geall
|
Move quickly that I may get her promise
|
|
Tionndaidh am bàt' agus till leam a nall
|
Turn the boat and return with me
|
