|
|
|
Dh' eirich mi moch air mhaduinn an de
|
I rose early yesterday morning
|
|
'S gun gheàrr mi'n ear-thalmhainn do bhrìgh mo sgeil
|
And plucked the yarrow to tell my fate
|
|
An dùil gu 'm faicinn fhèin rùn mo chleibh
|
Hoping to see my heart's desire
|
|
Och òin gu 'm faca 's a cùl rium fèin
|
Alas, I did, but with her back to me
|
|
|
|
|
Och òin mo chailinn 's mo shùil ad dhèidh
|
Och och my lass, longing for you
|
|
Och òin mo chailinn 's mo shùil ad dhèidh
|
Och och my lass, longing for you
|
|
Mo Lili mo Lili 's mo shùil ad dhèidh
|
My Lily, my Lily, longing for you
|
|
Cha leur dhomh am beallach aig cumha nan deur
|
I cannot see the pass for my tears
|
|
|
|
|
Na'm biodh sud agam mo lùth 's mo leum
|
If I had my strength and energy
|
|
Mi 'm shuidh air a bheallach 's mo chù air èill
|
Sitting on the pass with my dog on a leash
|
|
Gun deanainn-sa cogadh gu làidir treun
|
I would fight strongly and bravely
|
|
Mu'n leiginn mo leannan le fear tha fo'n ghrein
|
Before I would let any man under the sun steal my sweetheart
|
|
|
|
|
Tha mulad orm-sa is fiabhras mòr
|
I am sad and fevered
|
|
O chualas gu 'n deach' thu le Brian a dh'òl
|
Since hearing that you went drinking with Brian
|
|
Mo chomunn cha deanain ri mnaoi tha san fheòil
|
I would not associate with any other woman
|
|
O rinn thu mo thrèigsinn 's mi fhèin a bhith beò
|
Since you have forsaken me and I am still living
|
|
|
|
|
O chan eil uiseag no aoilinn bhàn
|
There is not a lark or white gull
|
|
Am bàrr a' chaisteil far robh mi 's mo ghràdh
|
On top of the castle where I was with my love
|
|
Nach bheil ri tuireadh do'oidhche 's do là
|
That is not lamenting night and day
|
|
O chual iad gun ghlacadh mo chailinn air làimh
|
Since hearing that my lass has given her hand to another
|
|
|
|
|
Nan tigeadh tu 'm baile le d' ghille 's le t-each
|
If you would come home with your servant and horse
|
|
Gu'm fosglainn an dorus 's gu leiginn thu 's teach
|
I would open the door and let you in
|
|
Gu'n deanainn do leapa 's gu'n laidhinn fhèin leat
|
I would make your bed and lie with you
|
|
'S cha b'fhad leinn an oich'ged bhiodh mìos innt air fad
|
And the night would not be long even if it lasted a month
|
|
|
|
|
Och òin mo chailinn 's mo shùil ad dhèidh
|
Och och my lass, longing for you
|
|
Och òin mo chailinn 's mo shùil ad dhèidh
|
Och och my lass, longing for you
|
|
Mo Lili mo Lili 's mo shùil ad dhèidh
|
My Lily, my Lily, longing for you
|
|
Cha leur dhomh am beallach aig cumha nan deur
|
I cannot see the pass for my tears
|
|
|
|
|
Mo Lili mo Lili 's mo shùil ad dhèidh
|
My Lily, my Lily, longing for you
|
|
Cha leur dhomh am beallach aig cumha nan deur
|
I cannot see the pass for my tears
|
