Chorus (after each verse)
:
|
|
Dh'òlainn deoch a làimh mo rùin
|
I'd drink a toast from the hand of my love
|
|
Deoch-slàinte le Fear an Tùir
|
A toast to the Man of the Tower
|
|
Dh'òlainn deoch a làimh mo rùin
|
I'd drink a toast from the hand of my love
|
|
|
|
|
Chì mi long a mach an caolas
|
I see the ship sailing in the strait
|
|
Tha mo ghaol-sa air a stiùir
|
With my love at the helm
|
|
|
|
|
'N uair a chunnaic mi air sàl i
|
When I see her sailing
|
|
Dh'aithnich mi'n long bhàn 's a criù
|
I recognize the white ship with her crew
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'aithnich mi i fo cuid brataich'
|
I recognize her flags
|
|
A buill-bheirte 's a cairt-iùil
|
Her rigging and her compass
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'òlainn deoch-slàinte mo thighearn'
|
I'd drink a health to my chief
|
|
'N uair a dh'fhiathaich e mi null
|
When he'd invite me to visit
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'òlainn deoch-slàinte Rìgh Sheumais
|
I'd drink a health to King James
|
|
M'eudail air MacDhòmhnaill ghuirm
|
My darling is the blue MacDonald
|
|
|
|
|
Dh'òlainn deoch-slàinte Mhic Gill-Eathain
|
I'd drink a health to MacLean
|
|
Mac na mnà a choisinn cliù
|
Son of the woman of renown
|
|
|
|
|
Sgiobair 'n a shuidh air a "haidse"
|
The captain is sitting on the hatch
|
|
'S a làimh ri sgapadh nan crùn
|
His hand is distributing crowns
|
|
|
|
|
Ged a tha mi'n seo, an Cola
|
Though I am here in Coll
|
|
B'e mo thoil a dhol a Rùm
|
I would like to go to Rhum
|
|
|
|
|
'S rachainn as a sin do dh'Uibhist
|
From there I'd go to Uist
|
|
B e mo luaidh tha air a luing
|
If my wishes were granted
|
|
|
|
|
Choimhead muime chaoin nam maighdean
|
To visit the gentle foster-mother of the maidens
|
|
Thogadh an t-oighr' air a glùin
|
Who'd take the heir on her knee
|
