Waulking Song |
| Credits : |
a) Gura Mise Tha Fo Mhulad
b) Braes Of Melinish - John MacDonald |
| Appears On : | Dòchas ; Gaelic Scotland 2 (compilation) |
| Language : | Gàidhlig (Scottish Gaelic) |
| Lyrics : | English Translation : |
| Sèist : | Chorus (after each verse) : |
| 'S na horo hì hoireannan | 'S na horo hì hoireannan |
| Horo chall eile | Horo chall eile |
| 'S na horo hì hoireannan | 'S na horo hì hoireannan |
| Gura mis' tha fo mhulad | It is I that am sorrowful |
| Air an tulaich 's mòr m' èislean | On a hillock, great is my grief |
| Chunna mise mo leannan | I saw my love |
| Cha do dh'aithnich e 'n dè mi | He did not recognize me yesterday |
| Cha do dh'fhidir, 's cha d' fharraid | He neither noticed me nor enquired |
| Cha do ghabh e dhìom sgeula | He didn't ask me how I was |
| Chunna mise dol suas thu | I saw you going up |
| Gu buaile na sprèidhe | To the cattlefold |
| 'S ann a ghabh e orm seachad | He passed me by |
| Air each glas nan ceum eutrom | On a gray horse with a light step |
| Air each glas nan ceum lùthmhor | On a nimble-footed horse |
| 'Ghearradh sùnndach an fhèithe | Lively at jumping the bog |
| Tha mo leanabh nam achlais | My baby is in my arms |
| 'S mi gun taice fo'n ghrèin dha | I am without sustenance under the sun for him |
| Cha bu mhise bu choireach | I was not at fault |
| 'S ann bu choireach e fhèin ris | It was himself that was at fault |
| Mar a thèid mi 'nam ònar | That I wander around alone |
| 'G iarraidh lòn air gach tè dha | Seeking food of every woman for him |
