|
Bhon chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium
|
Since my love turned his back on me
|
|
Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh
|
He'll not go dancing with me
|
|
Bhon chuir mo leannan cùlthaobh rium
|
Since my love turned his back on me
|

Cha tèid e leam a dhannsadh
|
He'll not go dancing with me

|
Mun dh'fhàg sinn crìochan Shasainn
|
Before we left the English borders
|
|
Agus dhealaich sinn ri chèile
|
And parted from each other
|
|
Mun dh'fhàg sinn crìochan Shasainn
|
Before we left the English borders
|
|
Agus dhealaich sinn ri chèile
|
And parted from each other
|
|
Mun dh'fhàg sinn crìochan Shasainn
|
Before we left the English borders
|
|
Agus dhealaich sinn ri chèile
|
And parted from each other
|
|
Gun b'aighearach na caileagan
|
The girls were lively
|
|
A' crathadh an cuid bhrèidean
|
Shaking their braids
|
|
|
|
|

(Chorus 2x)
